I generated a username using the following command ssh -keygen -b 1024 -f user -t dsa and now I'm trying to use putty to login with my private key but it doesn't work . I receive the following error message?
Unable to use key file C:\Users\admin\Desktop\da.ppk (OpenSSH SSH-2 private key)
I just created a notepad with the name da.ppk

Unable to use this private key file, Couldn't load private key, Key is of wrong type. If you see one of these messages, it often indicates that you've tried to load a key of an inappropriate type into WinSCP. You may have specified a key that's inappropriate for the connection you're making.
To download PuTTYgen the primary requisite is to acquire the copy of PuTTY installation package. For the 64-bit operating system, one must install the 64-bit version of PuTTY, i.e. putty-64bit-<version>-installer. msi.
You will need to convert that key using PuTTYgen (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html) to a key usable by PuTTY.
The steps are:
