# SSH Access with Nautilus

If using Linux with Nautilus you can connect directly to the server.

1.) create a config file in .ssh directory.

```
sudo gedit ~/.ssh/config
```

Paste the following and save. You may need to edit the path to your pem files.

```
Host myserver
HostName 18.216.138.59
User ubuntu
IdentityFile ~/keys/myserver.pem


```

Now you can connect using terminal with this example:

```
ssh myserver
```

on command line will connect to your remote amazon ec2 server without anyother info.

Open Nautilus. press Ctrl+L

there you can type **ssh://myserver**

press enter.

Note you can also just trasnfer files directly with this example:

```
scp -i ~/keys/myserver.pem file.txt ubuntu@18.216.138.59:/var/www/mysqldump/.
```
