It's my first time on aws and i want to upload a python script on ec2. Everything goes smoothly but when i try to connect to the server using putty, i get the following error:
I have no idea how to proceed. I am using linux mint 18 and one of the ubuntu instances in ec2 Any ideas? The associated questions aren't helping.
Unlike the command line SSH client on Linux machines, PuTTY expects you to enter only the hostname, here just ec2-18-188-53-9.us-east-1.compute.amazonaws.com
, in the field "Host Name (or IP address)".
You'll need to enter the user ubuntu
in the "Auto-login username" field under Connection -> Data, or leave it blank and enter it when you connect. You'll also likely need to provide the location of your private key under Connection -> SSH -> Auth.
