Primero ejecutamos All Programs > PuTTY > PuTTYgen
Under Type of key to generate, select SSH-2 RSA.
- Click Load. By default, PuTTYgen displays only files with the extension
.ppk. To locate your.pemfile, select the option to display files of all types.
- Select your
.pemfile for the key pair that you specified when you launch your instance, and then click Open. Click OK to dismiss the confirmation dialog box. - Click Save private key to save the key in the format that PuTTY can use. PuTTYgen displays a warning about saving the key without a passphrase. Click Yes.
Note
A passphrase on a private key is an extra layer of protection, so even if your private key is discovered, it can’t be used without the passphrase. The downside to using a passphrase is that it makes automation harder because human intervention is needed to log on to an instance, or copy files to an instance.
- Specify the same name for the key that you used for the key pair (for example,
my-key-pair). PuTTY automatically adds the.ppkfile extension.
