<p>Follow the Puttygen instructions, but the really short version is:
<li>Run PuTTYgen</li>
<li>Click on 'Generate'. Follow the instructions. Don't bother adding a passphrase.</li>
<li>Save the key</li>
<li>Copy all of the public key out of the window and paste that into the email. Make sure not to miss part or add newlines or otherwise mess with it.</li>
<li>Type your name in the 'Key comment' field.</li>
<li>Save the private key (this will create a .ppk file that you will need later)</li>
<li>Don't save the public key - instead copy all of the text from the 'Public key for pasting
+into OPENSSH authorized_keys file' field, and paste that into the email. Make sure not to miss part or add newlines or otherwise mess with it.</li>
<li>Run Pageant (it will have been installed in your Start menu, otherwise find it it "C:\Program Files\PuTTY\pageant.exe"). Click the "Add Key" button. Select the .ppk file in the pop-up file list. You only need to do this once.
</ol>

<li>If not, run <tt>ssh-keygen</tt>. It may ask about passwords: you can add a password for extra
security, but a passwordless key is fine, and more convenient.</li>
<li>That will create a file: <tt>.ssh/id_rsa.pub</tt> in your home directory. Email that file to one of the admins listed above. </li>
