Connect with PuTTY client to EC2 service?

Question

How to connect with SSH client to EC2 service ?

I have the .pem file with *.ppk extension and structure:

PuTTY-User-Key-File-2: ssh-rsa
Encryption: none
Comment: imported-openssh-key
Public-Lines: 6
KEY ^ LINES
Private-Lines: 14
KEY LINES
Private-MAC: KEY

I have Putty

Do I have to upload this file in PuTTY?

But how to make it... PuTTY has no Open File dialog... What is the way ?

The common way of using PuTTY is in  Host Name (or IP address) field to enter domain name.
For EC2 service that is Public IP I suppose.
I enter this value and have console opened, it propose to enter login...
I have no login, except from login to enter to EC2

--- my answer: Hi, Thanks I found how attach .pkk file , but opened console again demands for login. Also where to enter username as you wrote

after you specify your EC2 hostname and username

?

Answer 1

On the initial PuTTY Configuration window (after you specify your EC2 hostname and username), go to the Connection > SSH > Auth page and specify your .ppk key file in the Private key file for authentication box.

For more details, see:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/putty.html

I'm assuming you have obtained the .ppk file by converting the .pem file downloaded when creating EC2 instance. You do not need to "upload" such .ppk file (or actually it's public part) anywhere as this is done automatically, when creating the EC2 instance. Had you generated the .ppk yourself, it's a different story.

Note that this it is NOT the .pem file with the .ppk extension. It's the .ppk file. It has nothing to do with the .pem anymore after converting.

Answer 2

first you have to convert pem file to ppk by using puttygen, so after you will that ppk file use it under ssh auth give that file location and in hostname give ec2 instance name, it will allow you to login, user-name give ec2-user name if you are using linux, or check for the user-name according to your OS.
