[SOLVED] Windows/Ubuntu SSH

[Yuki_Nagato]

I have a server that I SSH into using a pair of RSA keys. The client was an Ubuntu box tunneling into the Mint Apache2 server. I disabled password authentication, making that computer the only one able to SSH into it. It has been working nicely.

Now I need to get a Windows Vista machine able to SSH into the Mint box. I have direct access to the server, so I can re-enable password authentication if I need to.

Should I clone my Ubuntu private key and move it to the Vista machine? Where would I put it so that the Mint box will find it? Or should I create a new key with puTTygen? I still do not know where to drop the key file.

Absolutely not.

You should create a new key with the puttygen: http://linux-sxs.org/networking/openssh.putty.html

Alright.

I got both machines working correctly now. That article was a huge help.
