John - Once you enter the provided host name , go to Go to Connections --> SSH --> Auth and brows the private Key file(dzhadoop_private.ppk) and click on Open button ( this key is provided in Hadoop_Installation_remote_login_using_windows_v2.zip file.) .

Thanks, Himmat. After reading your reply, I thought something was up with my download. It was missing both the .pdf instructions and the .ppk file.

I am up and running now. However, seems the employee.txt file is missing in the root directory on the dezyre node? I only see 4 items when executing the -ls / command.
