You can find this option on PuTTYgen's main window at the bottom in the Parameters: Type of key to generate section. To use this key with PuTTY, you need to use the 'Save private key' command."

PUTTY SSH OPTIONS WINDOWS
The PuTTY programs are small, self-contained executable files that do not need to be permanently installed by Windows or saved in a specific Windows directory. You can download the PuTTY software tools from the PuTTY website in 32-bit or 64-bit Windows versions.
The process of setting up a PuTTY connection consists of the following steps: Note that you can also create a new SSH private key file at any time.

Below are instructions for setting up a PuTTY SSH connection for the first time on a Microsoft Windows PC using the free PuTTY SSH client. # Menu to prompt user when existing file will be deleted.You can set up an SSH connection to Sierra Admin Corner using the SSH client of your choice. # Specify if existing file should be overwritten or appended # Specify character to replace spaces with, otherwise '-' # Commandline option to write directly to local config Link: # PuTTY to SSH Config - BASH For Windows I hope this is useful to folks who need to convert their PuTTY configs to SSH and am happy to take any feedback. On top of that, I have always wanted to make something that would be useful to others and this is the first time I feel that I am able to do that.
Currently the script parses that following parameters into an SSH Config file for use with OpenSSH/Bash for Windows/Linux systems: This is exactly why tackling a project and forcing yourself to stick with it helps to teach so much.Ĭommand line options allow you to write to a specified file (defaults to the Bash for Windows config location), append a current file, and set a file prefix (location). Working on this (what most would consider) simple script forced me to work with loops, string manipulation, registry parsing, the help functionality within the script, and command-line option parsing. With the release of Bash for Windows and the recent announcement that Microsoft will be bringing OpenSSH to Windows I figured this would be a good time to dive in and force myself to write a script in PowerShell to convert my PuTTY profiles to an SSH config. I have done a little bit of PowerShell work in the past but mostly just training exercises and modifying existing stuff.
