I'm trying to ssh to AWS server with pem key provided by our client.
I tried the command
ssh -i yrg-labour-uat-securelink.pem ubuntu#uat04.yrgconnect.online -v
Then it asks me for the password while there is no password. I have no access to server so I can't follow instructions found on google. I've tried the command from windows commandline, ubuntu and debian terminals and gave permission 600 to pem key. But nothing works. The output is shown below.
ian#MYPC:~/04-securelink$ ssh -i my_key.pem ubuntu#domain.name -v

Please help me!!!
There can be two reasons for this as I can think of
Maybe you are using the wrong user, check whether ubuntu is the right user
Maybe the server owner has enabled PasswordAuthentication in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
It turns out that the problem is not on client or server machines. What's causing the problem is the firewall from our office wifi which restrict key exchange between client and server machines.

I'm trying to shell to an AWS instance using ssh with public key as shown here:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-key-pairs.html#having-ec2-create-your-key-pair
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/session-manager-working-with-sessions-start.html#sessions-start-ssh
I've read every StackOverflow post on this topic and tried everything suggested all the way down through every comment.
I've made sure to do as AWS recommends with chmod 400 my-name-nr-managed-aws-services-company-name-us-east-1.pem and the .pem file resides in the ~/.ssh directory which has 755 permissions.
My verbose output for the connection not being successful is as follows (with real addresses obscured):

I have .ssh permissions as follows:
sudo chmod 700 ~/.ssh/
sudo chmod 600 ~/.ssh/*
sudo chown -R OWNER ~/.ssh/
Does this mean the publickey was not found? That it could not be read?
I deleted the instance and started over. This time I created a new .pem instead of reusing an existing one. When I created the instance with that new .pem, I got in. I think reusing the .pem may have been the problem. Thanks for the help folks!

Please help. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Since you are logging in as 'ubuntu' user, in the ec2 instance, your public key should be appended to the file: /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys. If the file does not exist, create the file with your public key contents and ensure that the file permissions is set to 600.
Try these troubleshooting steps:
Ensure that your public key has been saved in the correct directory: /home/ec2-user/.ssh
Ensure your public key has the correct permissions assigned to it: 0600
chmod 0600 /home/ec2-user/.ssh/your_public_key
Ensure that you are using the correct private key when connecting by using the -i flag for ssh. ssh -i ~/.ssh/your_private_key.pem ec2-user#website.com
Make sure your private key also has the correct permissions of 0600
If you are unable to connect to the instance at all in order to verify steps 1 & 2 above, then stop the instance, detach the root volume, and attach and mount it to an available instance.
I am trying to connect to my EC2 instance and getting the following error.
Command I'm running: ssh -v -i key.pem ubuntu#[my instance address]
I changed the permissions on the key file to 600 as I've seen in other threads, but that didn't solve the problem.
Output I'm getting:

Be sure to check:
The SSH keypair file
The username. For example: root, ec2-user, ubuntu, ...
The hostname of your server. For example, if you stop your instance, it will get a new IP address.
If you are using Ubuntu Cloud Guest official image, you can check the Ubuntu EC2 Starter's Guide.
Managed to solve it by editing /etc/ssh_config (on OSX) and adding the following line:
ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes
I read this post:
AWS ssh access 'Permission denied (publickey)' issue
The information there is relevant, but does not help me solve my issue. I used to be able to login to my linux instance on AWS using ec2-user using the following command:
ssh -i key.pem ec2-user#[address].compute-1.amazonaws.com from my MacBook terminal
over the past few weeks, I'm getting this error now:
"Permission denied (publickey)."
I tried
ssh -v -i key.pem ec2-user#[address].compute-1.amazonaws.com from my MacBook terminal
and I get this output:

Any advice on what's going on? How to get around this?
I have another user account on this instance that I previously created. I am able to login with that, and sudo into the root. I just cannot login with ec2-user anymore.
Thanks!
You may have to log in as root. If using a bitnami image, login as 'bitnami'
e.g. ssh -v -i key.pem bitnami#[address].compute-1.amazonaws.com
