Step 1
Generate SSH key from cpanel > ssh access > generate new key (id_rsa)
Step 2
Manage private key and convert it to ppk format. Download it and save some where.
Step 3
Import that ppk in putty > category (ssh) > auth and browse for that ppk file
Step 4
Now user name matters, keep in mind that user that you are trying to connect through putty can be other than root.
Goto file manager and see what it says with /home/{username}
This is your username where .ssh directory exists with authorized_keys file in it
