How Do I Obtain the Public or Private Key File of a Key Pair?

Obtaining a Private Key File

When you create a key pair, your private key file will be automatically downloaded.

  • If the private key is not managed, it cannot be downloaded later. Keep it properly.
  • If you have authorized Huawei Cloud to manage the private key, you can export the private key anytime as required.

Obtaining a Public Key File

  • If a key pair was created on the management console, the public key is automatically stored in Huawei Cloud. To obtain the public key file, which is in TXT format, locate the key pair in the list and click Download Public Key in the Operation column.
  • If a key pair was created using PuTTYgen, you can find its public key in the storage path on your local PC.
