How can I add an ssh key to my Linux server if I have a Windows operating system?

This specific procedure describes the steps you need to follow in case you have requested the activation of specific services from the Monitoring Pack you selected for your Linux Dedicated server.

To complete the Managed Services activation process, we will need to access your server to install the necessary monitoring tools.

To be able to connect to your server, you will need to add an SSH key following the steps described below.

If you have a Windows operating system, then you can use an application like Putty to connect to the SSH service.

After opening the Putty app:

1. In the Host Name (or IP address) field, fill in the IP of your server
2. In the Port field, fill in port 22
3. Then press Open.
4. In the window that will appear, select Yes.

Then you fill in the information that was sent to you when you activated your server.

In more detail, as login as, fill in the username of your server "root" and press Enter.

Then the server password will be requested which you can find in the server activation email.

• Once you fill in your credentials and connect to your dedicated server, the 4 commands to pass the ssh key are below:

mkdir -p ~/.ssh/


chmod 700 ~/.ssh/


echo "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAACAQDDOfU0iJD74pPWNeoKIhB44Fn6/4SlZhw1gLAokjB4D0Lkhat+Xo6Qh5O5
