I have followed all the instructions on the page but still can not login. Nothing but just a blank black screen without any warnings. I would be glad by any help.

this is how I did it with the help of this guide. You need PuTTYgen from here.

Generating keys

Open PuTTYgen:

  • Click on Generate
  • Move mouse cursor until it's done
  • Save public key (e.g. public-key.txt) and private key (e.g. private-key.ppk) using corresponding buttons.
  • From the Public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file box, copy its content.
  • Close PuTTYgen

From the Koding VM:

  • Create file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  • Open it, paste and save

Alternatively, you can go to your account settings -> SSH keys and past it here.

Connecting with PuTTY

Get your VM address from your Koding workspace:

  • On the top left, mouse over koding-vm-0, click on ... that appeared, the VM address is right to Assigned URL, without "http://" (e.g. unkk05c3f84e.joshmurray.koding.io).

Open PuTTY:

  • Set Host name (or IP address) as username@VMaddress (e.g. joshmurray@unkk05c3f84e.joshmurray.koding.io)

  • Go to Connection -> SSH -> Auth Click on Browse, find your .ppk file (e.g. private-key.ppk)

  • Go back to Session. Save your session (type a name under and click on Save)

  • Click Open to connect

Hope it will help.
