trying to connect to ec2 from current server , not working. Tried with 400 600 777 keyfile permission, still not working.

Solution

  • /home/ubuntu/myphpApp/key.pem must have a 600 permission and be owned by the jenkins user. it will not work on a different permission, even if it's 777.

    Preferably use jenkins ssh credential by storing the privet key in an ssh privet key credential.

    withCredentials([sshUserPrivateKey(credentialsId: 'myphpapp', keyFileVariable: 'ssh')]) {
    sh 'ssh -i $ssh [email protected] /bin/bash'
}
