how to connect to oracle free cloud using mobaxterm?


I'm trying to connect to oracle free cloud using mobaxterm but I'm receiving:

Unable to use key file "X:\\oracleCloud\\ssh-key-2020-10-11.key" (OpenSSH private key)

No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Session stopped
    - Press <return> to exit tab
    - Press R to restart session
    - Press S to save terminal output to file

I used the public ip + opc (as it's centos based machine), as well as the private key that was generated when I created the instance. Any idea on what I am missing?


Solution

  • In order to be able to connect, I generated a ssh key pair using puttygen. Seems the generated ones from oracle were the problem.
