Accessing my Amazon AWS Tor Bridge

Question

I just set up a Tor Bridge on a Amazon AWS Server (very good explanation how to do that on https://cloud.torproject.org/).

Now its up and running and I try to access it. I copied the private key (tor-cloud-servers.pem) into my home directory and then tried:

ssh -i tor-cloud-server.pem [email protected]

But it says "Identity file tor-cloud-server.pem not accessible. No such file or directory".

How can I solve this?

not sure if this got solved but you must connect as ubuntu@ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx... not as root — bnm, Commented Apr 6, 2015 at 2:59

Looks like ssh can't find your key file. Is the file name tor-cloud-server.pem or tor-cloud-servers.pem?

And are you running this command from your home directory? If not, try an absolute path:

ssh -i ~/tor-cloud-server.pem [email protected]

to add something to the previous answer, there is also another possibility for a different user that this .pem file downloaded has a difference extension other than the required .pem. such behaviour has beeen noted in some browsers and Amason advices that file only requires renaming.
