Tip

An SSH key consists of two parts. Public Key and Private key. A User connecting would use a Private Key and the server would prove its integrity using the stored Public key, this is why we upload the Public key to the server here.

Tip

If you don’t have a key pair and wish to generate your key pair please generate a new key by using the “Generate Key Pair” Button https://www.ssh.com/academy/ssh/putty/windows/puttygen
