- Use the below steps to decrease the memorization of where your pem files are
- Use the below steps to store the pem files into your profile so you can directly connect to ssh without the "-i [thefilename.pem]
Step 1: change the file permission of the file so that you can include it automatically.
chmod 400 [thefilename.pem]
Step 2: copy the file to the ssh directory so it can be searched via the handshake verses key stroke
cp [thefilename.pem] ~/.ssh/
Step 3: now add it to your keyring
ssh-add ~/.ssh/[thefilename.pem]
Finally you can connect by using the following command:
ssh [ip_address_or_FQD_hostname] -lec2-user
Enjoy
