What it is
From Windows, you can SSH to a server with PowerShell, PuTTY or MobaXterm.
PuTTY steps
PuTTY needs a .ppk key. Open PuTTYgen → Load your .pem → Save private key as .ppk.
In PuTTY, set Host Name (ec2-user@IP), port 22, and pick the .ppk under SSH → Auth.
Why it matters for security
AWS Session Manager lets you log in without opening port 22 at all.
No SSH port means no SSH brute force.
