Connect from my Windows machine to my Ubuntu mining rig. I have no troubles connecting with username and password, but I would like to make it even easier and conect with a public-private keys.
So looking at your link I see it says to install Putty on the Linux machine just so it can convert the Putty generated key to a Linux key. But it doesn't say where to generate puttykey.ppk
Can you elaborate on the tutorial please. I'm unsure of what to do.

Um, connect to WHAT exactly? A random server?
When using Putty to SSH into an Ubuntu box, you should know 3 things:
1) SSH server needs to be installed on Ubuntu (it isn't by default): sudo apt-get install openssh-server
2) You won't need to generate any keys
3) You will just use Putty to connect via SSH to the IP address of the server
If the above is working, and you now want to use public/private keys to connect, instead of a password, then follow this tutorial:

So I've followed numerous tutorials online, but each time I got Server refused our key:
I tried creating the keys with Puttygen and I also tried creating them on the server and converting private through Puttygen, but to no avail.
Anyone managed to connect via SSH with keys? A tutorial that works will be highly appreciated.
