You can identify whether a private key is encrypted or not by opening the private key (.key or .pem file) using a text editor or command line.

At times, there are differences between your local or staging and production environment in handling URL encodings. In strict environments (likely production), HTML links to files with encoded characters in their file name will result to a 403 (not found) error.

In MacOS, use homebrew to install the rename utility.
