See Saumil..

When you login then the directory in which you are landed is your users home directory.. Like in your case "ec2-user"..

So if you do "vi filename" without changing directory then the file is created in the users home directory "/home/ec2-user" .. N that is represented by ~.. Which represents the current users home directory..

N then if you logout and login again then the file stays there.. Nothing happens to that file as long as you manually delete it..

N by the above snapshot I can see that after login you are changing your user to root.. But if you could see after doing sudo you still remain in the same directory. N "~" changes to "ec2-user" because the root users home directory is different..
