When I try to create a ssh key pair using ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com" it creates a public key id_rsa.pub and a private key id_rsa. But this file does not have a .ppk extension. How can we generate a .pub and .ppk file ? I can also use puttygen but on the puttygen UI where do I put the user email?

@aaj did you ever find a solution to this problem? – Paul Pritchard Sep 06 '18 at 15:53

I am on windows so I used puttygen software to generate key pair instead as far as I remember. – codec Sep 07 '18 at 06:01
