We can configure our laptop/PC/Workstation to access the server using Public Key.

Open your PuTTY, add your server IP Server on Host Name, choose the Connection type to SSH. Named the sessions on Saved Sessions.

 

Go To Category : Connection > Data, fill the Auto-login username in Login details with your username

Go To Connection > SSH > Auth > Private key file for authentication and locate your Private Key location. The Private Key always have .ppk file extension.
