gistfile1.txt

On the server: 
- Create a .ssh directory in the user's profile.
- Create a file named "authorized_keys" in the .ssh directory.
- Grant permissions on the directory - only the owner can read, write, or open the directory.
- Grant permissions on the file - owner can read and write.

On the client:
- Generate a key pair using PuTTY Key Generator (puttygen.exe).
  - Right-click in the text field labelled Public key for pasting into 
    OpenSSH authorized_keys file and choose 'Select All'.

On the server:
- Edit the authorized_keys file with your favourite text editor and paste the public key for your key pair (generated by puttygen) into the file.
- Disable SSH password authentication.
- Restart the server's SSH daemon.
