Windows CHMOD 600

Question

I\'m trying to connect to Amazon EC2 using OpenSSH in windows but I need to set the permissions of my key file.

What is the windows equivalent of CHMOD 600

Answer 1

chmod won't work in windows. Try the following method to restrict the access

• Right click on the file > properties > security > advanced > disable inheritance > 'Convert inherited permissions into explicit permission on this object'
• Click on "allow | everyone | Full Control" > edit > 'select a principal' > type your username > 'check names' > select your username > ok > ok > ok (ok until all windows are closed)
