Taking advantage of WinSCP tools

The fact that we’ve selected Open SSH when generating the pair of keys (Step 7) allow us to take advantage of the quick copy tool provided by WinSCP to also copy the Public Key that will be used by our terminal emulator SecureCRT.

The following animation shows how to copy a Public Key that was generated by SecureCRT (Identity.pub) using the quick copy tool provided by WinSCP.
