SSH Amazon AWS

[kitecom]

I know there have been a few issues raised and resolved around ssh ids, I'm trying to use wordmove between local and an AWS EC2 instance. Pulling files/directories gives me: Permission denied (publickey) Pulling database gives me: Authentication failed for user [username@aws-url] (Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed).

Is there a line of config that would allow me to point wordmove at my PPK, or even better, import a Putty session?

I don't know anything about Putty and Pageant and how they should work on Ubuntu4Windows - are you using U4W? -, but i know how ssh works in *nix...and well, it's pretty much easier :D

I've found this nice article for convertink the Putty Key in a standard ssh key. That done, I'd advice you to configure your connection to the server using ~/.ssh/config file. Wordmove has not specific options because of the existence of that very sweet ssh configuration file which enables you to do something like

Host awsserver
  HostName example.com
  User amazonuser
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/awswpkey

and then in your Movefile's ssh section simply

ssh:
  host: "awsserver"

and boom... that's just sweet. I hope you can reproduce it on your OS.
