facing the same issue. Using bash ubuntu for windows and I cannot login to the server. If i use putty, I get right in
Just adding my two cents. I was trying to ssh by using my ppk and pem file format keys. I was able to login by using my key in the original format id_rsa
ssh -i id_rsa ec2-user@192.168.0.2
Follow these steps:
- Just check whether your username for the host is correct
- set 400 permission to your key file
