3.5.2 Connecting to PuTTY on Windows
The SSH Key generated by the PuTTY Key Generator is stored as PuTTY Private Key (PPK) .ppk via Save private key and used by PuTTY. Keys generated by ssh-keygen in the Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) file format are available at PuTTY via PEM -> PPK conversion.

Linux-based instances have a default locale of UTF-8. That’s why we set it the same in PuTTY as well.

Click Browse, and select the private key to connect to the instance
-
In the Category window, navigate to Session to save the session.

If this is the first time you are connecting to the instance you are trying to connect to, you will receive an alarm that the server’s host key is not cached in the registry. Click Accept.
