I used a trial version of ZOC Terminal Emulator and it worked. It readily accepts the Amazon's *.pem files. \n\nThe trick is though, that you need to specify \"ec2-user\" instead of \"root\" for the username - despite the example shown in the EC2 console, which is wrong! ;-) ",

Use PuTTYGen\n\nCreating and Using SSH Keys\n\nOverview\n\nvCloud Express now has the ability to create SSH Keys for Linux servers. This function will allow the user to create multiple custom keys by selecting the \"My Account/Key Management\" option. Once the key has been created the user will be required to select the desired SSH Key during the “Create Server” process for Linux.\n\nCreate and Use SSH Keys\n\n\nCreate keys\n\n\nNavigate to “My Account”\nSelect “Key Management”\nCreate New Key.\n\n\nDuring the key creation process you will be prompted to download your private key file in .PEM format. You will not be able to download the private key again as it is not stored in vCloud Express.\nThe “Default” checkbox is used for the API.\n\n\nDeploy server and select key\nConnect\n\n\nSSH (Mac/Linux)\n\n\nCopy .PEM file to the machine from which you are going to connect.\nMake sure permissions on .PEM file are appropriate (chmod 600 file.pem)\nConnect with ssh command: ssh vcloud@ipaddress –i privkey.pem\n\nPutty (Windows)\n\n\nDownload Putty and puttygen from - here\nUse puttygen to convert .PEM file to .PPK file.\nStart puttygen and select “Load”\nSelect your .PEM file.\nPutty will convert the .PEM format to .PPK format.\n\nSelect “Save Private Key” A passphrase is not required but can be used if additional security is required.\n\nConnect with Putty.\n\n\nLaunch Putty and enter the host IP address. If connecting to the 10.X private address you must first establish an SSL VPN connection.\nNavigate to Connection/SSH/Auth\nClick “Browse” and select the .PPK file you exported from puttygen.\n\nClick “Open.” When connection comes up enter username (default is vcloud).\n\n\n\n\nInstructions copied from here",

I'm rather shocked that this has not been answered since the solution is very simple.\n\nAs mentioned in previous posts, you would not want to convert it using C#, but just once. This is easy to do with PuTTYGen.\n\n\nDownload your .pem from AWS\nOpen PuTTYgen\nClick \"Load\" on the right side about 3/4 down\nSet the file type to *.*\nBrowse to, and Open your .pem file\nPuTTY will auto-detect everything it needs, and you just need to click \"Save private key\" and you can save your ppk key for use with PuTTY\n\n\nEnjoy!",

To SSH connectivity to AWS EC2 instance, You don't need to convert the .PEM file to PPK file even on windows machine, Simple SSH using 'git bash' tool. No need to download and convert these softwares - Hope this will save your time of downloading and converting keys and get you more time on EC2 things. ",
