-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]]+If you don't have SSH installed (you get a ''​command not found''​ error when trying ​to run ssh from the command prompt), 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** 
 +    * Press the **Load** button and select the PEM file you downloaded from Amazon 
 +    * Press **Save private key** and save the newly generated ppk file somewhere you'll be able to find it
  
-Download putty herehttps://​www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/​~sgtatham/​putty/​ \\ +To use PuTTY to connect to your server
-For simplicity, download ​the executables under “Alternative binary files”\\ +  * Open PuTTY from the start menu 
-The main program “putty.exe” 32-bit\\ +    * In the 'Host Name' box enter ''​ubuntu@your_amazon_public_IP''​ (replace your_amazon_public_IP with the IP of your new EC2 server ​this IP can be found in the instance list on your Amazon console, you might have to scroll a little to the right to see it) 
-And the key converter utility “puttygen.exe”\\ +    * Under '​Connection type' choose **SSH** 
-The MSI installer ​is more customisable but fiddly. \\ +    * Ensure the port is **22** 
-Another [[https://​youtu.be/​bi7ow5NGC-U|video guide]] to both converting ​and connecting +    * In the category pane, expand '​SSH'​ then choose '​Auth'​ Click **Browse** ​and choose ​the ppk file you generated earlier. 
- +    * Optional, but recommended ​Choose '​Session'​ from the top of the category list, enter a name in 'Saved sessions''​ then press **Save** (this lets you reconnect ​to the server ​without repeating the above steps by just clicking on the session name next time you open putty 
----- +    * Click **Open** to connect The first time you do this, you'll be given a notification of the finger print of the server, this is for information only - say Yes to trusting this certificate

-Now move on to the [Guides/​Webserver/​Part2|Webserver Part 2Setting up]] to set up the web and database ​server.+
