Hello,
I am trying to connect to Amazon EC2 with putty but the key provided by amazon is being rejected. I destroyed all instances and all key pairs. Then I created new ones and still the same problem.
Anybody?
Thanks.

A:
Did you read the Amazon docs appendix on PuTTY? It goes into what you have to do to connect with PuTTY, because:
PuTTY does not natively support the private key format generated by Amazon EC2. Fortunately PuTTY has a tool called PuTTYgen which can convert keys to its internal format.
(This was the first hit on a search for "putty ec2" btw.)
