I could a repetitive question, but I tried all the solutions I found on the internet and youtube, but I cannot solve it. I'm basically a baby for linux.

I have singed for Nimbus (cloud) to store my data and perform genomic analysis. I had generated.pem key and IP address. I am using Window Subsystem for linux and stored my .pem in a folder in desktop in my local machine for testing purpose. I also tried to removed all users from the .pem key file and keep only myself there using the solution found online, but still did not work. Does anyone could suggest a simple tip to fix it. Do appreciate for your help. Attached is the image from wSL enter image description here

kind Regards,

Take a look at the image below:

What you just did, is set read and execute privileges for yourself, your group and everyone else on the system.

This is indeed something that SSH barks at, because it only allows any privilege for the current user.

Use:

chmod 600 /path/to/file.pem

This will set read+write for you, and no privileges for any other user of the system.
