How to connect to AWS EC2 Instance using Putty & SSH

When you create an ec2 Instance, it asks you to create and download a PEM key file on your system 

1: PuTTy Key Generator- Load an existing private-key file

Go to the Windows 10/11 start menu and search PuTTYGen. Once it appears, click on the Load button.

 

2: Open Pem Key

Click on the drop-down box and select “All Files“; after that navigate to the place where you have saved your downloaded “Ec2 instance.Pem” Private key and select it to open.


3: Convert and Save PEM to PPK key

Now, click on the “Save Private Key” button and then click on the “Yes“. Give some name to your newly generated PPK key and save it on your system.


4. Configure Putty HostName

Under Session, go to the Host Name box and typeec2-user@publc-ipaddress. Replace public-ipaddress with the address of your ec2 instance that you want to connect over SSH.

After that click on the “Save” button.


5. SSH Authentication

Now, go to Auth from the Putty’s Category section, click on the Browse button to select the newly generated.PPK key that you saved in the 3rd step.

After that click on the “Open” button.


6. Login

Finally, you will have a Security warning – with two options “Accept” and Connect Once“. For security, if you are using some PC that is not yours then select “Connect Once“. Whereas on your personal system where you don’t want to add key again and again in PuTTy, then simply select “Accept” to let the Putty store Server’s host key in the cache.


Now you may put in command sudo -i to swich to root user control level
