Elasticfox and Putty


Elasticfox and Putty

Do you see the lovely:

“Disconnected, No supported authentication methods available”

This is because you are trying to use an ssh-key that is not putty compatible. This is easy to fix:

1) Download PuTTYgen

2) Start puttygen.exe

3) Click the “Load” Button, browse to your key, you might need to select “All Files” under the “Files of Type” dropdown

4) Then click “Save” and save the newly generated key in a new location i.e. c:\keys\puttykeys

Do not save over the other key in case you ever want to use Linux. Which you should ;)

5) In ElastixFox, click the “Tools” button, and in the field “SSH Key Template”, put the location of your newly generate putty key i.e.  C:\keys\puttykeys\${keyname}.ppk

6) Done :)
