Windows SSH with MobaXTerm

This is an alternative to installing "Putty", and we now recommend use of MobaXTerm.

If MobaXTerm is not installed, follow the installation instructions.

Install MobaXTerm

http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/download-home-edition.html

Download either:

the Portable edition, and just unzip it
the Installer edition (may require Adminstrative priviliges)

Run MobaXterm

Find the shortcut, or just run the .exe

Connect directly from the command line

Use ssh from the command line just like those Linux or Apple folk:

ssh -i <path/to/mykey.pem> <username>@<ip.address.the.cloud>

You will now be logged in to your new server.

Or set up a connection shortcut in MobaXterm

create a new SSH session
input your ip address "Remote Host", and username ubuntu
check that it's using port 22
configure it to use your keypair.pem file
(configure any other settings relevant to your situation)
Double-click your saved shortcut

You will now be logged in to your new server
