Using SSH on Windows
There are several SSH clients for Windows. The most popular is PuTTY, which is free and provides a GUI interface.
Creating an SSH key
Your SSH client should provide a way to generate an SSH key. If it asks you what format to store the public key in, choose OpenSSH. If that's not an option, use IETF SECSH.
If your SSH client doesn't provide a way to generate a key, you can use puttygen, the PuTTY key generation utility:
- Go to http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
- Download puttygen.exe
- Open it and follow the instructions
Logging in with PuTTY
If you are using PuTTY, you need to fill in the "host name" with shellium.org, then locate your SSH key (under Connection->SSH->Auth). Don't change any of the other settings, and click "open". Then log in with your user name and the passphrase for your private key.
PuTTy allows you to save session settings with the Save/Load buttons.
