Answer 1

Log-in to your terminal. Make sure you are in /home/your_user_name/

First client private/public key

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa

1. Press Enter to choose default directory
2. You may choose a pass phrase here depending upon situation.

Now add your public rsa key details to authorized keys, use the following command

$ cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

$ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

After this delete the id_rsa.pub file if you wish.

Now the private key file id_rsa is the one you need to 'import'.

You need the tool called the puttygen to import this file and then
click on the Menu Bar -> Conversions -> Export OpenSSH Key and save the exported file.

Save it as npp.ppk (maybe) and then use this in the Notepad++ Private key file path.
