PuTTY and WinSCP Configuration

# PuTTY Configuration

Host name: bitnami@<domain name> (or IP address if no domain is there). Port 22.

Config -> Connection -> SSH -> Auth -> set PPK file for authentication (convert the PEM to PPK in PuTTYgen)

Config -> Connection -> SSH -> Tunnels -> forward source port 8888 to localhost:80, required to connect to phpMyAdmin from local machine.

# WinSCP Configuration

Change connection protocol to SCP instead of SFTP

In Advanced -> Environment -> SCP/Shell, change shell to "sudo su -", whilst using "bitnami" user for login.
