Accessing remote linux machine from MacOS with key
There is a scenario where I have to access a remote linux machine via MacOS. Login mechanism is allowed though key and not a password. I have provided a PPK file which I can use for authentication purpose. PPK File Not Supported by MacOS The PPK file is not directly supported by MacOS terminal, rather we need a PEM(.pem) file for authentication. So first we need to convert this *.ppk file to *.pem file then after the same will be used for authentication purpose. We need to install PuTTYgen (windows) first. Normally it comes with installer of PuTTY but if not installed, check this link- PuTTYgen Converting a .ppk file to a .pem file Start PuTTYgen. Under Actions , choose Load , and then navigate to your .ppk file. Choose the .ppk file, and then choose Open . Clear the Key passphrase and a Confirm passphrase fields.
