I face following issues when trying to connect from my PS using either PowerShell or Cygwin to AWS on which my Wordpress site is hosted (Bitnami).
(I simply what to log in to the server either this way or using Putty as described here ([LINK][1] Putty is throwing an error "using username bitnami. Server refused our key. No supported authentication methods available. server sent publickey")
What I tried so far:
I execute either or both of the following commands...
chmod 600 <key-pair-from-aws>.pem
chmod 400 <key-pair-from-aws>.pem
(When I logged in to ec2 instance, under Key Pairs section I saw an entry, but I could not download it. That's why I generated a new key pair and that is the file I am using in the commands below.)
Then I enter the following command...
ssh bitnami@<public-ip-address> -i <key-pair-from-aws>.pem
... I get the following error:
Permissions for '(key-pair-from-aws).pem' are too open.
It is required that your private key files are NOT accessible by others.
This private key will be ignored.
Load key ".pem": bad permissions
bitnami@(public-ip-address): Permission denied (publickey).
Now, if I select the file on the PC "Properties -> Security -> Advanced -> disable inheritance", and then remove every user except my user, and then execute the same command ...
ssh bitnami@<public-ip-address> -i <key-pair-from-aws>.pem
... I get the following error:
bitnami@<public-ip-address>: Permission denied (publickey).
here I am stuck because I do not have any idea how to proceed further.
Searching on Stackoverflow and google I could not find anything to help me solve this issue.
can anyone please help with concrete, step-by-step instructions?
Thank you!
Update: here is the result of the command
