How to Install and Configure PuTTY on #Windows   to Access #openshift  with SSH

If I use the putty-installer package, would it talk an agent via win32 API

Could you please tell me how to open MATLAB? I tried "matlab &" and erroring " command not found"

[JohnMarkIsaacMadison]

I took copious notes. And I still can't get this to work...
Keep getting: Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available
(server sent: publickey, gssapi-keyex, gssapi-with-mic)

I got this when I was using the windows command line as well.
Using ssh-keygen command.

Seems like a lot of people are having this trouble. And I am not the only one who has been spending all day on this. Scary because reading comments on stack overflow... Some people have spent DAYS on this.

is not working correctly or it's not working at all ...

Here is what I have found trouble shooting today:
1. Open shift requires that the key be named exactly:
"id_rsa" for private key. No extention!
"id_rsa.pub" for public key. Must have extention.

Non-acceptable combinations: (Private listed first, Public listed second)
1. id_rsa.superPrivateKey & id_rsa.thisIsPublicLikeToilet
Result: Not recognized. rhc setup generates new keys for you.

2. id_rsa & id_rsa.dorrito
Result: Private key recognized, but unable to find public key when uploading.

3. rsa_id_caterpillar & rsa_id_caterpillar.pub
Result: Not recognized. rhc setup generates new keys for you.

3. caterpillar_rsa_id & caterpillar_rsa_id.pub
result: Not recognized. rhc setup generates new keys for you.

Other suspicions:
#1:
The code in rhc setup that CREATES the SSH-keys is not the same code that establishes and SSH session with OpenShift.
And some compatibility problem is happening here. Say for example... rhc setup generates an SSH-2 key, but then the connection required takes an SSH-1 key.

I do not yet know how to open a .pub file and know if it is an SSH-1 or SSH-2 key.
But I am going to try both types and see what I find.

#2:
Possibility that setup only recognizes rsa_id & rsa_id.pub, but we still need a .ppk file generated from
rsa_id.pub to properly establish the SSH session connection.
