I see that you can connect to an AWS EC2 via SSH or a Java plugin. Is there a way to access the EC2 image via an HTML5 client that does not require a java plugin?
Is there a way to connect to an EC2 VM via the EC2 API?
Try the FireSSH Chrome application, using it on my Chromebook and it works fine. It also allows importing the PEM file (other clients require that you convert the keys first).

I have created a sftp server for linux ec2 instance on aws. I have also mount the s3 bucket on linux using s3fs.
Now, any third party is able to access the sftp server using WinSCP. However, I am looking for the ways to access this server using browser url.
I have tried something like:
sftp://username:password#hostip
But it opens through the WinScp applocation and not through the browser directly.
Are they any ways to achieve it directly from browser?
skip the Linux layer and allow direct access to the bucket from the web
as described here

I am attempting to create and connect to an Amazon EC2 instance via FidOS. I am following the procedure demonstrated in:
How to Create Amazon AWS EC2 Instance
I logged onto the AWS Console and created a general purpose Ubuntu Server Machine image.
I configured the instance details, added storage, added tags, and configured the Security Group just as in the video.
I clicked "Review and Launch" and created and downloaded the PEM key.
I generated the PPK private key using PuttyGen.
I configured my session using the public DNS in the Host Name field and uploading the private PPK key in the Authorization tab.
After I clicked Open, a terminal window appeared, but then timed out.
I am working on a Windows machine, and trying to create a Ubuntu Linux virtual machine.
Am I missing any steps or doing anything wrong? I would appreciate any help I can get.
The problem was the corporate firewall. It worked just fine when I tried it from another location.
I am trying to run my springboot API on AWS however when i try to connect to the endpoint the error Site cannot be reached IP refused to connect. This my first time working with AWS.
I created a linux instance and connected to it using filezilla. Afterwards i added my jar to a folder which i created on the linux instance using filezilla. I started the springboot project and its running but the problem is that i cannt seem to connect to the endpoints. Am i missing something, how do i connect to my endpoints.
The other thing to note is that i enabled https on my API and added swagger also.
You need to enable relevant ports in the instances' Security Group.
Look at this to create a new Inbound rule for the specific port.
You can go to the aws console, (here I am assuming you have deployed to us-east-1 if its something else, go to the relevant region.
Open up the relevant security group, and then click edit Inbound roles.
I am using mac terminal and I want to connect my machine with server instance EC2 in aws with SSH. Since I am using Mac OS X is not necessary to use PUTTY. The problem is that when I download the key it is with extension .ppk but when i need to run it on terminal i need to use a command in which i have to use .pem extension . I tried to run it in that way and it said to me permission denied. Can someone help me what to do in this case? Do i have to change the permission or to convert my key from .ppk to .ppm?
You need to know the .pem file folder you download, and then follow steps below:
download the keypair(.pem file)
cd to keypair(.pem file) location (Note that you can use absolute path name for key pair instead)
chmod 400 [your_key_name].pem (Note that to make SSH work, your key must not be publicly viewable. Use this command if needed.)
ssh -i "[your_key_name].pem" ec2-user#[your ec2 dns name]
You will have to convert your "ppk" file to "pem" file follow this steps.

After you convert connect to the instance using the SSH command and converted "pem" file.

Quick answer
Instead of working directly with SSH keys I would consider working with AWS ec2-instance-connect.
It saves you the the management of the SSH keys and is much safer then sharing SSH keys for each EC2 machine between team members.
After authentication with the aws credentials (by referring to a profile in .aws/config file or using environment variables ) you can connect to the instance very easily by providing the instance ID:
./bin/mssh <instance-ID>
Installation of this tool can be done via pip or directly from the github repo.
Additional information
Amazon EC2 Instance Connect provides a simple and secure way to connect to your instances using Secure Shell (SSH).
With EC2 Instance Connect, you use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies and principles to control SSH access to your instances, removing the need to share and manage SSH keys.
When you connect to an instance using EC2 Instance Connect, the Instance Connect API pushes a one-time-use SSH public key to the instance metadata where it remains for 60 seconds. An IAM policy attached to your IAM user authorizes your IAM user to push the public key to the instance metadata.
The SSH daemon uses AuthorizedKeysCommand and AuthorizedKeysCommandUser, which are configured when Instance Connect is installed, to look up the public key from the instance metadata for authentication, and connects you to the instance.
You can use Instance Connect to connect to your Linux instances using a
browser-based client,
the Amazon EC2 Instance Connect CLI,
or the SSH client of your choice.
(*) Amazon Linux 2 2.0.20190618 or later and Ubuntu 20.04 or later comes preconfigured with EC2 Instance Connect.
For other supported Linux distributions, you must set up Instance Connect for every instance that will support using Instance Connect. This is a one-time requirement for each instance.

I am new to the amazon world.
I have got an amazon ec2 machine with it's public dns and a .pem file . i have connected to the machine using putty by generating a ppk file . now i am able to login to the remote machine using root user. Can someone help me how to create a remote desktop machine or as a cloud machine like the way windows has a rdp feature so that i can install the software. Do i need to install vncserver on it ?. if yes, is there any handy video or documentation which can provide me steps to connect . i have to install appache 2 and mysql on it.
Appreciate your help.
P.S. I can't see any instance on the amzon ec2 which can be created with the machine dns i have got.
Thanks.
1) To see you instance in AWS Console, you need to choose region, where that ec2 server is deployed.
Click on right top menu, there is list of regions there.
2) As we understood, you need to install LAMP Server on that instance.
There are lots of examples how to do it (without GUI, using command line interface).
Find them easily typing how to setup lamp server on ubuntu/centos, depending on your OS.
