Connecting Linux VM from Windows 10 using puTTY

Hi All,
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL 🙂 Greetings for the day 🙂
Background :
- Recently got a chance to work with Docker
- So our Admin / Support team given the Linux server
- In my laptop I have Windows 10
- To install Docker, I need to connect to Linux VM from my Windows 10 OS
- Since I am Microsoft guy, didnt got a chance to work with Linux VM, for me starting point is how to connect the Linux VM from my Windows 10 and hence birth of this article 🙂
One of the option to connect with Linux server from Windows is puTTY
What is puTTY ?
- From official website of puTTY – PuTTY is a free implementation of SSH and Telnet for Windows and Unix platforms
- The latest version is 0.76
- We could download puTTy package from – https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
- Here I am downloading puTTY for Windows –
- Once downloaded, double click on .msi file, setup wizard will start
- Once puTTY installed successfully, to start it, type “puTTY” in Run box as shown in below Fig
- “PuTTY Configuration” dialog will open as shown in below fig
- As shown in above fig – PuTTY Configuration dialog, in the “Host Name” box either type ip address or server name to connect the server
- Once we entered the details (either server name or ip address) we will get prompt for “login as” or “password” as shown in below two figures
- With correct user name and password we will be able to connect successfully
- Once we connected successfully, we are ready to execute the commands as shown in below Fig
Thanks for reading 🙂 Enjoy the beautiful life 🙂 HAVE A SAFE LIFE 🙂 TAKE CARE 🙂
