I'm trying to access aws instance using ssh with private keys downloaded from aws.
I got access using ec2-user
which their documentation suggested.
$ ssh -i upd_prayag.pem ec2-user@ec2-54-209-155-100.compute-1.amazonaws.com
Apparently, I find two users there,
ec2-user
prayagupd
What I want is ls
the user prayagupd
to check whether the directory I have cloned from github
exists there.
Unfortunately I see permission denied
message on that user.
I get Permission denied (publickey)
on
$ sudo ssh -i upd_prayag.pem ec2-user@ec2-54-209-155-100.compute-1.amazonaws.com
They suggest sudo su -
should work but it has been asking password, some of the links I found through google is making me anxious that I can't get root access.
