How to log in to my account via SSH using PuTTY?
First of all, if you have an SSH key, you have to load it using the pageant.exe program which can be downloaded from this URL.
Once downloaded, start the program and load your private key in it. If you have generated your key with a passphrase, you will be asked for it.
Then you should start putty.exe and enter the connection details in the Session category:
- Host Name (or IP address) - here you should enter the host/IP to which you wish to connect - Port - the port for the connection; port 22 is the default SSH port - Protocol - here you should select SSH
Once you enter the correct details, click on Open to establish the connection. You will be asked for a username and password; once you type them, you will log in to your account via SSH :)
