How to generate a .pem file for ssh?
I've added my ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to my server's 'authorized_keys' file so I can do ssh user@myserver -p port and login to the server successfully. Yet when I do
ssh-keygen -f id_rsa.pub -m 'PEM' -e > id_rsa.pem
and then use
ssh user@myserver -p port -i key.pem
I got:
Load key "key.pem": invalid format
user@myserver: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)
ubuntu ssh

You have a PEM public key and are trying to login with it? You need a private key for that (andssh-keygen -e -m PEMalways exports the public key)

Don't use PEM. I don't see why you would want to do that. Perhaps expand your question with some logic?
You should do:
- ssh-keygen
- ssh-copy-id user@server
- ssh to server
