In this blog, I will explain how to use the putty and puttygen software to connect to the remote server.
putty is a free software application for Window. which can be used to make a connection to the remote server.
- ssh login credential
- download putty.exe and puttygen.exe from this link
Initial Plan
I have created an AWS EC2 instance and downloaded the myKeys.pem file. By using the puttygen software, myKeys.pem will be converted to myKeys.ppk format. Finally, using this key I will make a connection to the remote server using putty.
Let's Start.
Step 1: convert .pem to .ppk
Start the puttygen application.
Click on Load and select the .pem file to be converted.
click on the "Save Private Key" button and name the key with .ppk extension and save.
Now I have the myKeys.ppk file. I will use this key to connect to the remote server.
Step 2: make a connection with the remote server
Start the putty application and go to Auth under ssh section
Browse the created .ppk file and go to the session
Click on Load and select the .pem file to be converted.
click on the "Save Private Key" button and name the key with .ppk extension and save.
Now I have the myKeys.ppk file. I will use this key to connect to the remote server.
Step 2: make a connection with the remote server
Start the putty application and go to Auth under ssh section
Browse the created .ppk file and go to the session
After filling the remote username and the IP address (Host Name section), open the connection.
