How do you connect Coda to AWS EC2 Instance? Invalid username or password

Question

I have followed the instructions in thread: How do configure Coda to work for my Amazon EC2 instance?

However, I am still having a problem. I can ssh into my EC2 Instance by just typing ssh unbuntu@ip as well as use the terminal in Coda. When I try to add a site and connect- it says User name or Password was not accepted by server.

I am sure my permissions are correct (400) on my keypair located in .ssh as I can ssh into it.

My coda settings are:

Protocal: SFTP port 22
Server: <ip>
username: ubuntu
password: <blank>
Root URL: http://<ip>/sub

Furthermore, My .ssh directory permission is 700 and all files within are set to 400. My config file looks like:

Host <ip>
User ubuntu
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key.pem
HostName <ip>

Any idea what is going wrong? I can ssh through the terminal and use the Coda terminal; however, I says

"Could not connect to server xxxx: The username or password was not accepted by the server."`

when I try to open the site using Coda.

Answer 1

When creating new sites with Coda for use with EC2 Instances i've used:

Protocol: SFTP

Port: 22

Server:ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com

User Name: ec2-user

Password: (Press the Key Icon and select your Key Pair)

Root URL: http://whatever.com

Remote Root: /var/www/html/whatever.com

Local Root: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/Alex/Location/Location/Location

Press SAVE and it's done.

You can also create an ~/.ssh/config file:

# AWS Ec2 Ireland
Host *.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
IdentityFile /location/of/your/pem/file/dublin.pem
StrictHostKeyChecking no
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
IdentitiesOnly yes
ForwardAgent no

Try setting the username to "ec2-user" with a blank password.
