Hi I have a Ubuntu Server and I have configured public and private key on that server. Previously I was using Windows 7. So I just installed Putty and was accessing my Ubuntu Server from Windows 7 successfully.

Now I migrated from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 12.04. Now I want to access my Ubuntu Server. How can I do it? Will I have to use Putty? Or something else will also work?

I remember when I used to access Ubuntu Server from Windows 7 via Putty I had to provide a key over there as well. So How can I do this now?

I installed putty as well. But its not working. Every time I start putty, after some seconds a message is displayed "Server unexpectedly closed the connection".

ssh (package openssh-client) is a standard part of Ubuntu.

You may need to convert your private key from putty format for use with Linux ssh.

See: How do I install a ssh private key generated by puttygen?
