1. The.ppk file extension indicates that the private key is in PuTTY's proprietary format. You must use a key of this format when using PuTTY as your SSH client. It cannot be used with other SSH client tools. Refer to the PuTTY documentation to convert a private key in this format to a different format.
2. Click on the “Save Public Key” and “Save Private Key” buttons to save your public and private keys. You will see the text starting with ssh-RSA in the Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorizedkeys file field which is located at the top of the window.
3. PuTTY does not natively support the private key format for SSH keys. PuTTY provides a tool named PuTTYgen, which converts keys to the required format for PuTTY. You must convert your private key (.pem file) into this format (.ppk file) as follows in order to connect to your instance using PuTTY.

If you are using the unix cli tool, run the following command:

You can also generate a public key for your SSH servers using one of the two following commands based on your server:

Shogun 2 cd key generator. Now you can have everything for free!

You private key can be used with OpenSSH or Openssl-based software. The public key can be used with OpenSSH.

Although we recommend using different private keys as much as possible, you can reuse the newly generated key to make a CSR using OpenSSL.
