how to access through ssh amazon instance from ubuntu machine.

how to ssh amazon instance from ubuntu.

if you have the private key file of your amazon instance then its very easy to connect through ssh.

if you don't have the keys then login to your amazon interface instance and create the key instance.pem and instance.ppk

when you creat these both keys then download it you system. and saved it.

One key .pem is used for linux connectivity and .ppk is used for windows putty connectivity.

In ubuntu OS open your terminal and get the sudo rights.

Alt+Ctrl+T then type the command
sudo -s
your password:

go to your donwload folder and copy the keys to /home/yourname/.shh/ folder

cd /home/myname/Download/

cp instance.pem instance.ppk /home/myname/.shh

trach out your amazon host name like bitnami and type the command in terminal

shh -i instance.pem user@your.instance.amzon.com

you will get connected.

if you get the error

permission denied due to the public key is onpen to others. then change the permission of .pem file

chmod 600 instance.pem and again try to connect to server instance.

this time you will connected if you have right usernam and .pem key.

That's all
if you have any other question feel free to ask me
