The simplest way to generate a key pair is to run ssh-keygen without arguments. In this case, it will prompt for the file in which to store keys.

Warning: If you are saving your keys under C:/User/username/.ssh ( the default place), make sure to back up your keys somewhere (eg your password manager). After the most recent Windows 10 Update (version 1607), my.ssh folder was empty. This is where my keys have always been, but Windows decided to delete them when updating.

An SSH Key allows you to log into your server without needing a password. SSH Keys can be automatically added to servers during the installation process.

The simplest way to create SSH key on Windows is to use PuTTYgen. Download and run PuTTYgen. Click the 'Generate' button. For additional security, you can enter a key passphrase. This will be required to use the SSH key, and will prevent someone with access to your key file from using the key. How to convert SSH keypairs generated using PuTTYgen (Windows) into key-pairs used by ssh-agent and Keychain (Linux). This answer was the key to getting ssh from the windows command line using passwordless keys for me (specifically for git access). It's probably easier to create your keys under linux and use PuTTYgen to convert the keys.

Creating an SSH key on Windows

The simplest way to create SSH key on Windows is to use PuTTYgen.

• Download and run PuTTYgen.
• Click the 'Generate' button.
• For additional security, you can enter a key passphrase. This will be required to use the SSH key, and will prevent someone with access to your key file from using the key.
• Once the key has been generated, click 'Save Private Key'. Make sure you save this somewhere safe, as it is not possible to recover this file if it gets lost
• Select all of the text in the 'Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file'. This is what you would need to enter into the control panel to use the SSH key.

Creating an SSH key on Linux

The tools to create and use SSH are standard, and should be present on most Linux distributions. With the following commands, you can generate ssh key.

• Run: ssh-keygen -t rsa. For a more secure 4096-bit key, run: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
• Press enter when asked where you want to save the key (this will use the default location).
• Enter a passphrase for your key.
• Run cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub - this will give you the key in the proper format to paste into the control panel.
• Make sure you backup the ~/.ssh/id_rsa file. This cannot be recovered if it is lost.

Adding an SSH key to your control panel

• Once you're logged in, go to https://my.vultr.com/sshkeys.
• Click 'Add SSH Key'.
• Enter a descriptive name for the key.
• Paste in your SSH public key. This is a long string beginning with 'ssh-rsa'. You should have saved this from when you generated your key.
• Click 'Add SSH Key'.
• Now, when you're deploying servers you will be able to select which SSH keys you want to add to the newly deployed server. Remember to select the keys before the initial server deployment, otherwise you will need to log into the newly created server and add the SSH keys manually.

Limitations

• SSH keys are only available for Linux and FreeBSD. They are not supported for Windows, custom ISOs, nor snapshot restores.
• SSH keys can only be managed from the control panel during deployment. You cannot use the control panel to manage them on an already-installed instance.

Connecting to a server using an SSH key from a Windows client

• Download and run the PuTTY SSH client.
• Type the IP address or Username + IP address ( user@x.x.x.x ) of the destination server under the 'Host Name' field on the 'Session' category.
• Navigate to the 'Connection -> SSH -> Auth' category (left-hand side).
• Click 'Browse..' near 'Private key file for authentication'. Choose the private key file (ending in .ppk) that you generated earlier with PuTTYgen.
• Click 'Open' to initiate the connection.
• When finished, end your session by pressing Ctrl+d.

Connecting to a server using an SSH key from a Linux client

• Check that your Linux operating system has an SSH client installed ( which ssh ). If a client is not installed, you will need to install one.
• Initiate a connection: ssh -i /path/to/id_rsa user@x.x.x.x
• When finished, end your session by pressing Ctrl+d.

SSH, the secure shell, is often used to access remote Linux systems. But its authentication mechanism, where a private local key is paired with a public remote key, is used to secure all kinds of online services, from GitHub and Launchpad to Linux running on Microsoft’s Azure cloud.

Generating these keys from Linux is easy, and thanks to Ubuntu on Windows, you can follow the same process from Windows 10. But even without Ubuntu, SSH keys can also be generated with the free and open source Windows application, PuTTy

Sony acid 10 key generator. Over the following few steps, we’ll guide you through the process of generating SSH keys using both Ubuntu on Windows and PuTTY.

Requirements

All you need is a PC running Windows 10 and either of the following installed:

• The puttygen.exe executable from PuTTY
