I&#39;ve generated key pairs using PuTTYgen and been logging in using Pageant, so that I have to enter my pass-phrase only once when my system boots. 

How do I achieve this in Linux? I&#39;ve heard of `keychain` but I hear that it uses a different key pair format - I don&#39;t want to change my Windows keys and it would be nice if I could seamlessly connect in the same manner in both Windows and Linux.

I&#39;m using [PuTTY][1] to run:

    mysql&gt; SELECT * FROM sometable;

`sometable` has many fields and this results in many columns trying to be displayed in the terminal. The fields wrap onto the next line so it is very hard to line up column titles with field values.

**What solutions are there for viewing such data in terminal?**

I don&#39;t have nor want access to phpMyAdmin - or any other GUI interfaces. I&#39;m looking for command-line solutions such as this one: [Save MySQL Query results into text or CVS file][2]

The numberpad does not work properly when using Vim through PuTTY. Instead of numbers I get

I try to push changes from my local repo to a remote repo. When I type:

    git push origin

I get the following error:

    The server&#39;s host key is not cached in the registry. You
    have no guarantee that the server is the computer you
    think it is.
    The server&#39;s rsa2 key fingerprint is:
    ssh-rsa 2048 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
    Connection abandoned.
    fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

How can I solve this? I&#39;m using git from the command line in Windows 7.

**Edit**

When I try to do a simple ssh

    ssh user@hostname

I get the following error:

    Could not create directory &#39;/c//%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%/.ssh&#39;.
    percent_expand: unknown key %H

Somehow it will not create the directory, because the path is invalid. How to fix this?

@eckes: **Edit2**

My Home is set to `%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%` is this correct?

I created key pair using `puttygen.exe` (client is windows 8). On server (Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS), I have put my public key in `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`. The public key is this:

    ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAQEAopfM6RHOgnuc4Aftn3t4k5UIAT3StCAbn/vg/IMbphbXadshC+79sIlRq3P4zGzMjFTP4hKnzu6ehLV5lmj/qorq3SKT+bPO5Qrac3VbIlrGvuBFDDjP82I2Hwg3HzlsFTstqk++KToapaTYZ7jENEYyPl2wnzITJnt//+4U1o6juoXTKgdNE02hHnRZyHOV/bnkZyJJCEwJv5U0eXSThQnhmXtUxGT8U0HQNFiXfqIIVllhWiCnyrhhIaKz/CIJNAd2VmzyJzQtJtTQX8aWSNVrZju6Sv2/RncTNvsACdNgjjh/FH8PQXaep00jlJ3MOdsC8vz6VSPFbh6iKy1oLQ== rsa-key-20131231

So it&#39;s correct (one line, no comments, starts with ssh-rsa, etc.)

`.ssh` dir permission level is 700, authorized_keys file permission is 600. Both directory and file owned by the actual user that I try to log in. 

When I try connecting I&#39;m getting `&#39;server refused our key&#39;` and server asks for password. That&#39;s all. Nothing is logged to `/var/log/auth.log` when attempting to log in with the key. 

I&#39;ve looked everywhere and all articles and tips mention setting chmod 600 and 700 for the file/directory and formatting the key correctly. I&#39;ve done all this still getting &#39;refused our key&#39; error and I&#39;m out of ideas.

When I try downloading a file from my server onto my computer, it actually downloads the file onto the server.

(Note I am already SSH&#39;d into my server before typing this command. I&#39;ve watched tutorials on YouTube and people are using their terminal without SSHing into any particular server, however I don&#39;t think I can do this with PuTTY on Windows?)

    scp -r -P2222 kwazy@mywebsite.com:/home2/kwazy/www/utrecht-connected.nl ~/Desktop/

The problem is that I am specifying the location to download the file as only `~/Desktop/`

This creates a folder called `Desktop` in my server, instead of copying the files onto my local desktop.

I&#39;d greatly appreciate any assistance.

Update:

I am able to use this command on Linux. 

I have successfully download the folder onto my desktop:

Has anyone else ever had this error in PuTTy?

For example, pressing the Up Key now produces:

    &gt;&gt;&gt; ^[[A


Google doesn&#39;t let you search for special characters so I&#39;m stumped at finding existing version of this problem. 

--------------

EDIT:

So this happened after I pasted in some unicode (when, I think, the translation was already set to utf-8). 

I&#39;ve checked the Change Settings dialog box for different settings than my other open PuTTy windows, but the settings appear to be identical. 


EDIT2:

This is fixed by restarting PuTTy, but still a nuisance. 


**EDIT3:**

**How to replicate the exact same bug:**

 1. Open a putty terminal to a linux PC (I&#39;m using RedHat)
 2. Open Python 2.7.*  - using the command `python2.7` (note: error does not appear in 2.6)
 3. `import codecs`
 4. Now use the arrow keys, and these bizarre characters appear.

Can someone help me with commands? I&#39;m trying to upload file to server based on linux.

How to upload files to server using Putty (ssh)

From time to time I have to run a command-line tool (a Python script) whose output seems to break my terminal.
After the execution is finished, the typing feedback is gone (I can&#39;t see what I&#39;m typing), and also line breaks are not displayed. This happens if the terminal is started remotely via `Putty`, and also locally when using `gnome-terminal`.

For example, after the problem happens, if I type &lt;kbd&gt;ENTER&lt;/kbd&gt; `pwd` &lt;kbd&gt;ENTER&lt;/kbd&gt;, I would expect to see:

    [userA@host006 ~]$
    [userA@host006 ~]$ pwd
    /home/userA
    [userA@host006 ~]$

But actually the output is:

    [userA@host006 ~]$ [userA@host006 ~]$ /home/userA
                                                                 [userA@host006 ~]$

The only way to fix it is to close that terminal and start a new one.

Maybe be related: the script output contains some terminal-based formatting (e.g. invert foreground/background to highlight some status messages). If I dump this output to a file I can see things like `[07mSome Message Here[0m`.

Any ideas what I could do to prevent this?

I am confused between various keys used in encryption.

Amazon gave me `key.pem`

I am really confused what type of key is used where

I&#39;ve got Git for Windows (configured for MinTTY and `PuTTY\plink.exe`) and PuTTY installed, and I am trying to get it to work with a Bitbucket repository. I&#39;ve got my SSH key loaded, in Pageant and on the website, and yet whenever I attempt to do anything that requires pulling/pushing:

    Permission denied (publickey).
    fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

    Please make sure you have the correct access rights
    and the repository exists.

When I run the suggested `ssh -v hg@bitbucket.org` it uses `id_rsa` but none of my other keys in `~/.ssh`. Trying to use `ssh-add ~/.ssh/bitbucket_rsa` results in:

    Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

I&#39;ve read about configuring PuTTY to allow forwarding, but that&#39;s usually where the advice ends, so I just set this option for the default session and saved it there.

I&#39;ve run `ps` to check which applications were running, and `ssh-agent` was not among them. Running `eval &#39;ssh-agent&#39;` starts the daemon, but it makes no difference.



Git Bash and Pageant are not using keys

I have a scenario where I need to run *a* linux shell command frequently (with different filenames) from windows. I am using PuTTY and WinSCP to do that (requires login name and password).  The file is copied to a predefined folder in the linux machine through WinSCP and then the command is run from PuTTY. Is there a way by which I can automate this through a program. Ideally I would like to right click the file from windows and issue the command which would copy the file to remote machine and run the predefined command (in PuTTy) with the filename as argument.

i&#39;m using [Paramiko][1] to connect through ssh to a server.

Basic authentication works well, but i can&#39;t understand how to connect with public key.

I&#39;m trying to test some C code that I&#39;m writing. The only issue is that the code needs to be executed on a remote machine. 
My laptop is pretty old, and there is no driver for my wireless card available for Ubuntu, so booting into Linux to circumvent this problem isn&#39;t an option. 
Here&#39;s my question: 

I&#39;m using putty to SSH into the remote machine, and I&#39;m writing my code on Notepad++.
The location of my file is:
     `C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c`

My problem is that when I use the command `scp C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c ~`
I get the error `could not resolve hostname C:. Name or service not known&quot;.`

I&#39;ve also tried `scp Users\Admin\Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c ~` which gives me the error `Cannot stat &#39;Users\Admin\Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c&#39;: no such file or directory`

What am I doing incorrectly?

I am trying to use [PuTTY][1] to communicate over my computer&#39;s serial line. I have configured the correct serial line, baud rate, number of data bits, stop bits, parity, and flow control, and established the connection. When I click OK to open the connection, I am shown a black screen and each of my key presses are sent without being shown on the screen (the window remains black). How do I configure PuTTY so that it only sends my commands or opcodes after I press enter?

I have used PuTTY while at college for Telnet / SSH and it always showed my commands and input them only after I pressed the enter key, so I am a bit confused.

SSH to my AWS server just broke for both Putty and Filezilla. I&#39;m making some effort for this post to be a comprehensive troubleshooting list, so if you share links to other stack overflow pages, I&#39;ll edit them into the question.

    Disconnected : No supported authentication methods available (server sent :publickey)
&lt;br&gt;
The error is familiar from when I set up the connection almost a year ago. If you&#39;re setting up AWS SSH for the first time, these address the most common problems:

- &lt;b&gt;Wrong username:&lt;/b&gt; https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21535907/disconnected-no-supported-authentication-methods-available-server-sent-publi
- &lt;b&gt;Incorrect .ppk file:&lt;/b&gt; https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19096348/unable-to-connect-to-amazon-server-using-putty

However, the only thing I could think that would impact a previously working system is:

- &lt;b&gt;Wrong IP:&lt;/b&gt; Restarting an AWS instance (or creating an image) is not guaranteed to keep the same IP address. This would obviously have to be updated in putty. 

What other possibilities are there? 





_Solution to this one (per the accepted post below) is that for AWS EC2 all 3 of these need to have proper permissions (777 **not** ok for any of these). Here&#39;s one example that works:_

    /home/ec2-user/ - 700
    /home/ec2-user/.ssh/ - 600
    /home/ec2-user/.ssh/authorized_keys - 600

/var/log/secure will tell you which one is throwing an error, consult this video tutorial to get access if you&#39;re completely locked out:

I&#39;m trying to a get a &lt;kbd&gt;ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;tab&lt;/kbd&gt; and &lt;kbd&gt;ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;shift&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;tab&lt;/kbd&gt; binding to work inside of a tmux session (I&#39;m also using PuTTY).

I already went through the pains of having to recompile PuTTY so it would send &lt;kbd&gt;ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt; and &lt;kbd&gt;shift &lt;/kbd&gt; correctly. After using &lt;kbd&gt;ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;v&lt;/kbd&gt;, and I&#39;m able to see that `^[[27;5;9~` and `^[[27;6;9~` are being sent for &lt;kbd&gt;ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;tab&lt;/kbd&gt; and &lt;kbd&gt;ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;shift&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;tab&lt;/kbd&gt;, respectively. Is there any way I can get these bound to next-window and previous-window inside of tmux?

Edit:
After some research, I&#39;m thinking I might have to configure xterm to include those keycodes. Any idea how I would go about doing that?

Edit2:
So I found out I can retrieve infocmp and recompile it. I added

`kctab=\E[27;5;9~, kcstab=\E[27;6;9~,`

to the end of it, except now it&#39;s giving me an error. &quot;**entry does not start with terminal names in column one**&quot;

So there are plenty of tutorials on how to convert a `PEM` to a `PPK` using `puttyGen`.

I&#39;m using putty on a Linux machine. My usual method for searching in vi is entering the slash &lt;kbd&gt;/&lt;/kbd&gt;, then my search string, enter, then go through all the matches by &lt;kbd&gt;n&lt;/kbd&gt; or &lt;kbd&gt;shift&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;n&lt;/kbd&gt;.

I was wondering if vi had a feature like Eclipse&#39;s Incremental Search (&lt;kbd&gt;ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;j&lt;/kbd&gt;), wherein as I type, it jumps to the next logical match. I think one of my office mates used to do it but I&#39;m not sure.
