Connecting google cloud bitnami SSH

Question

Google Cloud dashboard is very different and relatively difficult as compare to EC2, I have created a VM powered by LAMP, Now I want to put files on my server or SSH to it via File Zilla or Win SCP.

It didnt ask me to create the keys, I tried using bitnami username and password present at dashboard (with no key) but it is not authenticating. what should I do now ? I dont want to download whole gcloud sdk for just putting files. Any option ?

Add you ssh key to the machine by going logging into the Google Cloud Console then navigating to Compute Engine > VM Instances.

Click on your VM name, then choose edit at the top.

Once you are in edit mode, you can upload an SSH key and save it.

After you added a key, you can ssh / scp like normal. See: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/connecting-to-instance#standardssh

Trii Johnson it require key in special format, When I copy/paste it shows error, I generated key via ssh-keygen – require_once Oct 15 '15 at 20:01
Here is what I did, I launched the ssh in browser, throw the ssh-keygen commant, 2) I echoed the id_rsa pvt file and saved it in file, 3) converted it via putty , 4) tried using in winscp but it says server refused your file. – require_once Oct 15 '15 at 20:16
I tried it says Invalid key. Required format: – require_once Oct 15 '15 at 20:19

Finally I copied the stuff from id_rsa to authorized keys and it worked, – require_once Oct 15 '15 at 20:26
