How to Connect to a Linux Server with SSH, Using PuTTY – Pageant – Windows
Sunday, December 13th, 2009I’m playing with my new VPS hosting & trying doing some tasks through SSH; but before being able to do this, I had to setup my SSH connection.
1. Generate SSH Certificate
a. 1st thing you need to do is to create a SSH certificate in your server, I did this in my cPanel / WHM. Just browse around to find SSH icon, then the Generate a New Key link. You will be asked to give your new key a name & password, then Key Type & Key Size (I used the default values here DSA / 1024, you may experiment with other values). Next click on Generate Key.
