not a valid public key.
The public key file you are trying to download has one of the
following problems:

1024 characters, including spaces. This could also mean
that two or more keys are merged together instead of
being separated by a <CR><LF>.
• There are more than ten public keys in the key file and
switch total. Delete some keys from the switch or file.
The switch does not detect duplicate keys.
• One or more keys in the file is corrupted or is not a valid
rsa public key.
