Following are the steps:
1. Download and install Filezilla client.
2. Goto Filezilla settings(Windows) or Filezlla preferences (MAC)
3. Click on SFTP, on right side, click on add key file.
4. Select your .pem file. It will prompt you to convert into PPK file.
5. Click ok to close the settings/preferences window.
6. Open site manager, create a new site as show in the image below.
Host: your AMI address
ServerType: SFTP
Logon Tpe: Normal
User: ec2-user
No password required ! Filezilla will read through the keys and find the right key for the user/server pair that you are connecting to.
Just what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

ReplyDeleteHi Anas,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment. Sorry, I dont know how to be the root thru filezilla.
I usually give permissions to ec2-user to a desired folder thru command line.
Cheers !

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI had successfully created connection with EC2 by Filezilla. But I am not able to change or upload file to EC2. Is this require extra efforts?
nice good work
ReplyDeletefilezilla server free download
HI,
ReplyDeleteI'm not being able to create a connection to the EC2 instance.
I'm running FileZilla 3.11.0.2
I'm running filezilla on my mac (Yosemite)
I have specified my Amazon key pair in the filezilla settings under SFTP
I have entered in my host using my public DNS (Elastic IP)
I have specified the user to be ec2-user. (Tried with ubuntu and root also)
I have opened up ports 22 for SSH on my amazon security groups for 0.0.0.0/0.
I also tried with opening all ports for 0.0.0.0/0
Status: Connecting to ec2-###-###-###-###.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com...
Response: fzSftp started, protocol_version=2
Command: keyfile "/Users/MS/Documents/AWS/amazon.ppk"
Command: open "ec2-user@ec2-###-###-###-###.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com" 22
Error: Connection timed out
Error: Could not connect to server
Are there any suggestions as to what may be blocking my connection?? have spent about 4 hours now trying to get this to work - has to be something simple that I'm missing?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Superb!
