Putty key, Works on Win10, but not on Ubuntu LTS 18.04
I have made a public and private pair keys with puttygen on Windows and uploaded to the server. And my private key works like a charm on Windows 10(git not installed). When I use Putty for linux ubuntu(git installed) I can't use it. I am going to pull a project on gitlab from a server, so I need to use my name.ppk file to login to the server located at ipaddress@host.com.
Question: How can I login using my name.ppk file located on ~/Desktop, on terminal?
server ssh git putty gitlab

Did you convert the key to OpenSSH format? See for example How to convert ppk to SSH key using PuTTY Key Generator

Convert the key to OpenSSH format (note this will overwrite your existing SSH key if you have one)
sudo apt install putty-tools
mkdir ~/.ssh
puttygen ~/Desktop/name.ppk -O private-openssh -o ~/.ssh/id_dsa
puttygen ~/Desktop/name.ppk -O public-openssh -o ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_dsa
chmod 666 ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
Now you can simply use ssh to connect to your server in a regular terminal:
ssh user@host
Also note that if you open your file browser (nautilus, dolphin, etc.) you can use the GUI to browse your server by entering:
sftp://user@host
Where sftp:// means FTP over SSH in this case. There is also the fish:// protocol which also uses SSH but doesn't use any FTP like commands which may be faster.

What if I have git key in this location? ./ssh/id_dsa.

Then you should use that key to SSH into your server instead or usessh -i path_to_key user@hostto manually specify the key (although you won't get as eay of a GUI interaction) - Also there is no such thing as a "git key" in this contex (unless you are doing signed commits) it's an OpenSSH key

To get the public key line you would add to your server's authorized_keys file runcat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
