Issue with logging into ec2 instance using Ubuntu terminal

Question

I am trying to login to the ec2 instance through the ubuntu terminal. It is showing following error, Warning: Identity file aws-foundation-key-pair.pem not accessible: No such file or directory. [email protected]: Permission denied (public key). So please tell me how to connect or login both. For more information refer to the attachment.

Answer 1

You need to have the key pair inside the virtual box Linux machine and then you can run the command for ssh.

So, copy the key to the Linux machine and open the terminal where the key pair is present.

Then run the below commands for ssh:

sudo chmod 400 <key-pair name>

ssh -i ./<keypair.pem> <usernameof machine>:<IP address>

The above syntax will help you to ssh in to your instance from linux machinne.
