PuTTY to ssh

[edit]

So, you originally created your public key file with PuTTY and want to use it on a Linux/Mac system?

  1. Run PuTTYgen on the Windows machine
  2. Select: File > Load private key
  3. Locate and open your .ppk key file
  4. Type your key passphrase and hit OK
  5. Select: Conversions > Export OpenSSH key
  6. Save the file as id_dsa and copy it to your ~/.ssh folder
  7. Log in normally using the instructions at Toolserver/Getting started#Log in to shell

ssh to PuTTY

[edit]
  1. Run PuTTYgen on the Windows machine
  2. Select: Converstions > Import key
  3. Locate and open the id_dsa file you generated for login.toolserver.org
  4. Type your key passphrase and hit OK
  5. Select: File > Save private key
  6. Save the file with a .ppk extension
  7. Log in normally using the instructions at Toolserver/Getting started#Log in to shell
