ARGUMENTS input_type Either dropbear or openssh output_type Either dropbear or openssh input_file An existing Dropbear or OpenSSH private key file output_file The path to write the converted private key file. For client authen- tication ~/.ssh/id_dropbear is loaded by default SUPPORTED FORMATS dropbearconvert can read OpenSSH format files, and older PEM format files ( ssh-keygen -m PEM ). dropbearconvert will write OpenSSH format files, us- able with OpenSSH 6.5 and later.
