    PuTTY 
    =====
    
      
    
    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"**.
