How do I make a *.ppk file let me into SSH (Ubuntu)
- by user20285
I have a *.ppk file given to me so I can SSH into a server.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.x.
What commands do I need to run so I have permission to SSH?
I found something that said to do
ssh-add some_file.ppk
But then, I got this:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Permissions 0777 for 'foofoofoo.ppk' are too open.
It is recommended that your private key files are NOT accessible by others.
This private key will be ignored.
How can I change permissions on that file so Ubuntu will ssh-ify my .ppk file?
Thanks
