PuTTY -  before we start SSH connection 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

### Windows PuTTY Installer

We recommned you to download "**A Windows installer for everything
except PuTTYtel**" with **Pageant*** (SSH authentication agent) and
**PuTTYgen** (PuTTY key generator) which is available
[here](http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html).

 After installation you can proceed directly
to private keys authentication using
["Putty"](putty.html#putty).
"Change Password for Existing Private Key" is optional.
"Generate a New Public/Private key (`id_rsa/id_rsa.ppk` ): `600 (-rw-------)` pair" is intended for users without
Public/Private key (`id_rsa/id_rsa.ppk` ): `600 (-rw-------)` in the initial email containing login credentials.
"Pageant" is optional.

### PuTTYgen

PuTTYgen is the PuTTY key generator. Read more how to load in an
existing private key and change your passphrase or generate a new
public/private key pair using [PuTTYgen](puttygen.html)
if needed.

### Pageant SSH agent

[Pageant](pageant.html) holds your private key in memory
without needing to retype a passphrase on every login. We recommend its
usage.

PuTTY - how to connect to the IT4Innovations cluster
--------------------------------------------------------

-   Run PuTTY
-   Enter Host name and Save session fields with [Login
    address](../../../../salomon/accessing-the-cluster/shell-and-data-access/shell-and-data-access.html)
    and browse Connection - > SSH -> Auth menu.
    The *Host Name* input may be in the format
    **"username@clustername.it4i.cz"** so you don't have to type your
    login each time.
    In this example we will connect to the Salomon cluster using
     **"salomon.it4i.cz"**.
