Accessing AWS Ec2 server

[KeithSloan]

I have managed to setup Termius on my Mac to access AWS-Ec2 server but don't want to pay the annual fee so trying WebSSH.

Have given the working pem file in Private Key setting but when I try and connect it wants me to enter a password.

Hello @KeithSloan 👋

Thanks for trying WebSSH 🙏

Could you post the error log thrown inside WebSSH please?

[KeithSloan]

New to WebSSH so not sure where to find error log, plus not sure it is throwing an error, pops up request for password which does not happen when connecting with tremius, same key pair and ec2 instance (obviously not at the same time)

You can find all logs here : WebSSH > Settings (gear) > Logs

What’s your private key format?

Is the Password property it mentions the same as PassPhase?

Yes it means PassPhrase in this context
