The process of getting Putty communicating with OpenSSH has thwarted me for quite some time.  I installed OpenSSH with:sudo apt-get install opensshThen I generated ssh keys with:ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C my user hereThe above command moved the public and private key combo to my user's profile home .ssh directory (/home/myUser/.ssh)   (I think I may have had to create the .ssh folder there in order for ssh-keygen to work properly)Then I copied the private key to Windows and tried to use it in Putty.The server kept denying me.
How do I communicate with OpenSSH on Linux from Putty on Windows?
openssh;putty
