| - | There are some extra steps needed to convert your PEM file to something compatible with PuTTY if you are using Windows. There are some [[https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/convert-pem-file-into-ppk/|instructions for that here]] | + | You'll need to download PuTTY and convert your PEM file to PPK: |
| + | * Download PuTTY from https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html You generally want to choose the '64 bit MSI (Windows Installer)' option. | ||
| + | * You'll have to convert the PEM file from Amazon to a ppk file that PuTTY can use. From the start menu run PuTTYgen | ||
| + | * Under 'Type of key to generate' choose **RSA** | ||
