Answer 1

You're close...the following works for CentOS / RHEL on EC2

{
    "type": "sftp",
    "sync_down_on_open": true,
    "host": "<your ec2 instance hostname>",
    "user": "<your username>",
    "remote_path": "<your remote path>",
    "connect_timeout": 30,
    "sftp_flags": ["-o IdentityFile=~<path to .pem file>"]
}

You actually don't need to set ssh_key_file": "/home/USER/USER-EC-Virginia.pem,

Answer 2

Just to add to One Bad Panda's comment, Please dont use these commands in Windows 7 to point to key file

"sftp_flags": ["-i /C/cygwin/home/Ehsan/.ssh/ekia_ec2.pem"]

"sftp_flags": ["-o IdentityFile=/C/cygwin/home/Ehsan/.ssh/ekia_ec2.pem"]

instead use

"ssh_key_file": "C:/.../yourkey.ppk"
