Generate Your Key

  1. Download the latest Putty putty-installer.exe and install Putty.
  2. Run Puttygen (Start -> Programs -> Putty -> Puttygen) and click Generate.
  3. Email me the "authorized_keys" text at the top.
  4. Enter a passphrase, and click Save private key (saves a ppk file).

Load it in WinSCP

  1. If you haven't already, install WinSCP.
  2. When connecting, instead of a password, choose the ppk file you generated above.
