I know this question has been asked and answered before, but I can't make it work although I triple-checked all the steps both in Amazon doc and here on StackOverflow.
So here we are: yesterday I launched an Amazon EC2 instance, with an Amazon Linux image - the one provided by Amazon themselves. I created a Key Pair for my Mac, and it's 100% fine - it works.
But today, trying to connect from work, from my PC, I can't make that work for Putty.
Steps I've done:
- Created a new Key Pair
- Used PuttyGen to transform the .pem file to .ppk
- Created a new session on Putty, making sure that the host is [email protected] (I won't paste my complete ec2 host obviously)
- Associated to that session the private key I previously generated.
- Try to connect from Putty.
What I get:
This message: Using username "ec2-user". Server refused our key
And the popup with Title "Putty Fatal Error" that says "Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available"
Please help, I've tried everything:
- Changing user to root and ubuntu
- generating my own public/private key using PuttyGen
- putting the IP insteaad of the DNS name
Nothing works... And the worst thing is that yesterday from my Mac, with a different key-pair and using vSSH, it worked.
I don't get it.
Thanks in advance for your precious help.
Nicolas.
