About Course Information > IMPORTANT: Using GCE to Set Up Labs

Hi, I followed the video of "IMPORTANT: Using GCE to Set Up Labs". Although I can use the the GCE build-in SSH client to login, but when I used Putty to SSH, and used "student" as the username, I can't login. Does anyone else also experienced the same issue? Thanks!

Hi @WenChuang,

With putty, you will need to specify the ppk key file for the student user. Also, ensure there is no firewall on your host that blocks traffic to port 22.
