-b bits – This command specifies a total number of bit in a particular key.Its acceptable values are RSA and dsa.rsa1. – t keytype – The command specifies the type of key to creating.Keyfile – It is the name of the existing key file to read at the time of changing the current key.Copy that entire text to your clipboard by pressing ctrl+c as you will require the key to paste on your clipboard in the public key tool of control panel or directly on the cloud server. You will see the text starting with ssh-RSA in the Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file field which is located at the top of the window.Click on the “Save Public Key” and “Save Private Key” buttons to save your public and private keys.Now you will need to add a unique key passphrase in the Key passphrase and Confirm passphrase field.
Clicking on it will lead to generating the keys for you.
You will find a “Generate” button in that dialog. You will see the PuTTY key generator dialog box on your screen. For the same, go to Windows -> Start Menu -> All Programs -> PuTTY -> PuTTYgen. Once you install the PuTTY on your machine, you can easily run PuTTYgen. Below is the complete guidance about how to generate RSA key in the Windows operating system: We recommend that you uninstall it without removing its configuration.PuTTYgen is used to generate public or private key pair for creating SSH keys. If you want to use the Microsoft Store installation only, you can uninstall the classic installation. Besides common commands, the Store installation has commands like App settings, Rate and review and Share, while the classic installation has Open file location command. In the Windows Start menu, you can distinguish the two installations by commands available in their icon context menus. If you ever decide to move back to the classic installation and you want to preserve your settings from Microsoft Store installation, you can just transfer the configuration, as if you were moving it to another machine. Also in case you later add a new stored site in the classic installation, it will make it to the Microsoft Store installation too. WinSCP installed from Microsoft Store will inherit the configuration of the classic installation. If you already have a classic installation of WinSCP, installing WinSCP from Microsoft Store keeps your previous installation intact.
