Can't ssh to AWS EC2: Identity file not accessible

Question

I\'m unable to ssh to my EC2 server and am getting the error:

ssh -i /Users/Skeniver/Keepass/skeniver.pem ubuntu@xx.xxx.xx.xxx

Identity file /Users/Skeniver/Kee         


        

Answer 1

Looks like you typed the wrong filename. You're specifying the filename skeniver.pem in your command, but it looks like your filename is actually skeniverkey.pem.

Answer 2

Try using

ssh -i Users/Skeniver/Keepass/skeniver.pem ubuntu@xx.xxx.xx.xxx

instead of

ssh -i **/**Users/Skeniver/Keepass/skeniver.pem ubuntu@xx.xxx.xx.xxx
