ssh-key-to-pem

convert an ssh key to PEM format.

deprecated! use sshpk instead!

Usage

var sshKeyToPEM = require('ssh-key-to-pem');

console.log(key)

Alternatively, convert a PEM format public key into an ssh-rsa key

var fs = require('fs');
var pemToRsaSSHKey = require('ssh-key-to-pem').pemToRsaSSHKey;

var key = fs.readFileSync('./pub_key.pem', 'ascii')
var sshKey = pemToRsaSSHKey(key);

console.log(sshKey)
