Rocky Access Windows

Protocols and Software

Rocky access is provided through [SSH] to provide a command-line shell or [SCP] to upload/download files. There are multiple windows programs that will provide SSH and SCP connections. This document describes the use of two of the most popular ones: PuTTY for SSH and WinSCP for SCP.

PuTTY

Install

The Windows Installer will install PuTTY SSH Client, the PuTTYgen key generation utility, the Pageant SSH authentication agent, and the PuTTY SCP/SFTP utilities.

The latest version can be downloaded from: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html

Generate Key Pair

Using the newly installed Puttygen program:

• Generate a new key pair with the generate button
• Enter a key passphrase (will be needed to access your private key)
• Save your private key somewhere safe
• Copy your public key
