I can ssh to my linux instance using the following: ssh -i dj_mongo.pem -v

  • 0

I can ssh to my linux instance using the following:

ssh -i dj_mongo.pem -v ec2-user@xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com

But whenever I am trying to copy file from the local computer to server, I am getting the following errors:

 scp -i dj_mongo.pem ck.pem  root@xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com:/
Please login as the ec2-user user rather than root user.

 scp -i dj_mongo.pem ck.pem  ec2-user@xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com:/
Permission denied (publickey).
lost connection

Both dj_mongo-pem and ck.pem has permissions 600.

Output from terminal is copied below:

How can I proceed with that?
Please help.

EDITED
Now I can’t ssh anymore. I am using the same key as yesterday.

    I wasn’t able to find out what was a reason of my problem.
    I ended it up by creating new Linux Instance, and attaching the EBS of my old instance that stopped responding to it.
