To generate SSH key on Windows, you can use a tool called PuTTYgen. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
Download PuTTYgen from the official PuTTY website: PuTTY Download Page
After downloading, run the PuTTYgen programme.
Select a key type. Usually RSA keys are recommended for SSH use. Make sure that the key type is selected according to your requirements.
Click the "Generate" button to create a new key. You may need to move the mouse cursor around the programme window to collect entropy.
When the key is generated, you will see the key information as well as a bar to enter a passphrase.
If you want, you can enter a passphrase to protect the key to keep it secure. But this is optional.
Click the "Save private key" button to save the private part of the key in a file with a .ppk extension. This file will be used by SSH clients such as PuTTY or WinSCP.
Click the "Save public key" button to save the public part of the key in a file with a .pub extension. You can give this file to the server administrator or use it to configure access to the remote server.
Now your SSH key has been successfully generated.
Remember that the private key should remain secure and should be stored on your computer with limited access. The public key can be distributed and used to authenticate to the server.
