Install PuTTY

PuTTY is a program commonly used to connect to servers via SSH from a Windows computer. 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
