Load key "PATH": invalid format #18

Closed skeddles closed 5 years ago

First it was connecting me but it kept giving me "WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE!"

So I followed instructions to change the permissions of the file, and now I get Load key "PATH": invalid format, without connecting. Can't tell if it actually doesn't like the file or if it can't read it because of the permissions now, but I've been using the same key with MobaXterm and have been able to connect properly.
