Connect to remote host from windows using SSH/pem

Question

So I have a .pem and I need to connect to a remote machine using that.

I have been told to do: ssh -i key.pem root@remote machine

Before that I am supposed to chmod 600/400 on key.pem

I am on windows. When I type ssh or chmod it says unrecognized command.. How can I connect to this remote host?

Believe it or not, you already answered your question when you tagged your question with `putty`. Read up on it and read our [help] to learn why this question is not appropriate here. — Sven, Jul 21 '14 at 12:38

You can load your .pem key into putty and save it as .ppk file to access the server.

PEM format if you are going to connect from Linux, OS X or other Unix systems and PPK for Windows Putty, FileZilla and WinSCP.
