===== generate a 4096 bit ssh-2-rsa key=====

  * download [[http://www.putty.org/|putty]] (installer + associating ppk files makes your life easier but is not a must)
  * launch puttygen [Win key -> type: puttygen -> enter]
    * type the name of the key
    * type the password (if you intend to use it from your phone - maybe less than one bazillion characters)
    * set: ssh-2-rsa 4096 bit
    * press generate
     * save the public key in OpenSSH into a textfile e.g. mykey_OpenSSH.pub (conversions -> export OpenSSH key)
     * save the public key in ssh.com format e.g. mykey_ssh.com.pub (conversions -> export ssh.com key)

    * go back to session (first screen)
      * Saved Sessions: open shack
