I am having this same problem.  Keys generated by OpenSSH work correctly.  The 
only difference I could find was that the private keys Amazon produces format 
the RSA key with 77 characters per line, while OpenSSH stores a key with 65 
characters per line.

That would not be the message if app doesn't know how to interpret keys. I've 
included a patch that allows usage of Amazon ssh key. I know t weird to ask 
this ,but can you send me a copy of your private and public key so I could done 
some tests?

I seem to have a similar problem, though I can't even get sshfs manager to 
recognize my EC2 key, which is a .PEM key generated by Amazon.  I get an error 
message "File doesn't seem to be a valid private key file" when I attempt to 
insert the file as the key.  It also doesn't work with the PuTTY private keys 
I've generated to connect with PuTTY.

It only recognizes OpenSsh keys . You can use puttygen.exe to export your putty 
keys to those.

I checked.
Amazon EC2 key: 76 characters per line and CRLF
'Valid' private key: 64 characters per line and LF

Is anyone resolved the problem? Using the same private key to successfully log 
in SFTP on Windows, I still can't mount EC2.

I managed to get the EC2 private key working by just re-formatting the 76 
characters per line into 64 characters per line. That is, I joined the private 
key into one long line (1592 characters) and broke it into 64 character lines. 
This works fine.

use this for linux : 

$ fold -64 existingkeyfile > newkeyfile

you'll need to make sure the file doesn't have spaces at the end of each line. 

not sure what your options are in windows. Use notepad, probably.

Here is how I use sshfs-manager for Amazon EC2:

    1. Use puttygen to convert .pem to .ppk as is instructed by http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/putty.html
    2. After successfully logging into the server via putty, go to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and concatenate your own ssh public key.
    3. Open sshfs-manager and choose the private key of previous step.

The ssh key-pair (id_rsa and id_rsa.pub) is generated by
    ssh-keygen -t rsa
as is instructed by https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys.

Exactly same issue happen on exactly same hardware (Win7x64). Tried on cygwin 
fold -64 existingkeyfile > newkeyfile buu my key is already folded after 64 
character. :-( Any progress with explanation at least? Can anyone glance into 
the code?

Where can I see the logs on my workstation? Nothing interesting in working dir 
of C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\sfx.{F9F7D530-some-4355-BCF9-guid}.dir\

Looking at the ProcessMonitor output I would love to dig into decrypted traffic 
with favourite network analyzer.

If you have an issue like #4  "File doesn't seem to be a valid private key 
file", you should to cut from you *.ppk file only private key and mark it 
"-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----" at the first line and "-----END RSA PRIVATE 
KEY-----" at the last one. This is the output format of ssh-keygen utility.

I got this working using puttygen to convert the ppk, back to an OpenSSH pem.  
Open the private ppk file.  Then select Converstions, export to OpenSSH and it 
works.

A combination of #9 and #11 worked for me - thanks guys.

I did the following:

1. Uploaded original .pem to linux server
2. Ran $ fold -64 original.pem > new.pem
3. Downloaded this new file and successfully used it in SSHFS Manager.
