Cannot connect to Compute Engine instance via SSH
I've just created an instance using Google Cloud Platform's Compute Engine and tried to connect to it via SSH connection but it failed. I'm following the quick start here . I have generated the SSH key on my PC and have entered the pass-phrase when asked. Though I fail to succeed a log in :-( I got the PuTTY SSH's error as below snapshots. Then I get the PuTTY window inactive. scampsi I have the same problem but found a workaround to connect via PuTTY manually. In brief Generate SSH key for the machine instance Add SSH public key to the instance Prepare to log in - acquiring information for IP
