If not, download the two tools as binary files further down at the PuTTY Download Page.

#SECURECRT PUBLIC KEY INSTALL#

If you can install applications on your computer, download the Windows Installer. It does not require any installation, and can be run directly from the downloaded binary. If you don't already have a ssh-client installed, putty is probably the easier solution. One of the better is as it will show both IPv4 and IPv6-addresses (if available). If there is sensitive information that must be conveyed in order to provide a complete picture of the scenario you're facing, please let us know and we will set up a secure upload mechanism that can be used.There are many services online which will return your current public IP-address.
