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.
Install PuTTY
If PuTTY is not installed, download and install a putty from http://www.putty.org/ .
Connecting a Linux Instance on Windows
Run putty.exe
Select Session from Category and enter
- Host Name (or IP address):
Public IP of the instance. This can be found in the OCI Console.
Port: 22
Connection type: SSH
In the Category window, select Translation for the Window child
Select UTF-8 from the Remote character set drop-down list
Linux-based instances have a default locale of UTF-8. That’s why we set it the same in PuTTY as well.
In the Category window, click SSH and Auth under Connection
Click Browse, and select the private key to connect to the instance
In the Category window, navigate to Session to save the session.
Click Open to start 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.
