 If you are using PuTTY on a Windows machine, follow these steps:
-   1. Convert your private key to the format that PuTTY is expecting to. To do this use the puttygen program. For more information look [https://apps.state.or.us/tech/htdocs/putty/Chapter8.html#8.2.12 here]
+   1. Download the PuTTY version of your private key.  (If you are using a key generated by the GENI Portal, this can be downloaded from the Profile page.  Otherwise, you may need to convert your private key to the format that PuTTY is expecting. To do this use the puttygen program. For more information look [https://apps.state.or.us/tech/htdocs/putty/Chapter8.html#8.2.12 here])
    2. Create a new session that uses the username, hostname and port that you have gathered. Under the authentication menu make sure you point the key field to the key that you generated with puttygen.
