 +1. Install [[https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/download.html|MobaXterm]]. The Home Edition should be sufficient, if you do not require any features from the Professional Edition.
 +
 +2. Open the MobaXterm SSH Key Generator. From MobaXterm, click on Tools and select //MobaKeyGen (SSH key generator)//.

 +
 +6. Give your file a name (such as //putty_key//) and select a location to store it on your computer before hitting //Save//. Make sure this is a location you can easily find again, your user's home folder is a good place.
 +
 +7. Under //Actions//, click //Save private key//.
 +
 +8. Make //Save as type// set to PuTTY Private Key Files (//*.ppk//), give the file a name (such as //putty_private_key//), and select a location to store it on your computer before hitting //Save//. Make sure this is a location you can easily find again, your user's home folder is a good place. It is advisable to set a passphrase to protect this file since all your encryption will be done with this file.
