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/.
