I am trying to SSH into to an amazon Linux server (server B) from the current server (server A) which is an ubuntu.



The Server B is accessible via a Private key (ppk) and not a password.



I have already uploaded the Server B private key into Server A.



What is the command that I need to run in Server A in order to SSH into B using the private key?

    I have done a similar task before. But I generated a pair of keys in server A and copied the public key in server B. Is it what you are trying to do?
