Importing .ssh key from iOS to mac

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I can't figure out how to do this. I can get the .ppk file off of my iOS device, but I can't figure out where to put it for Remoter for Mac to import it. Thanks for the help.

Hi Scott,

You shouldn't share ssh private keys in theory. Each client should use it's own.

That being said, if you'd like to import the .ppk file, you can simply place the file into this directory: "~/Library/Application Support/Remoter" (Remember that ~/ means your user directory).

Hope this helps!,
Raf.

Thanks. That worked (I then followed your advice and created a unique key for the desktop remoter). Appreciate the fast response.
