+
+It's likely that you've generated an SSH protocol 2 key with PuTTYgen,
+but you're trying to use it in an SSH 1 connection. SSH1 and SSH2 keys
+have different formats, and (at least in 0.52) PuTTY's reporting of a
+key in the wrong format isn't optimal.
+
+To connect using SSH 2 to a server that supports both versions, you
+need to change the configuration from the default (see \k{faq-ssh2}).
