How do I start an SSH session from the Unity desktop with arguments (-i)?

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – Using SSH in a GNOME terminal is fine. But I want to use it in a Unity window (the location text field, ctrl+l). I need to refer to my .PEM x509 certificate for security reasons to connect to my Amazon aws EC2 server instance, by using the -i argument that I use in the terminal command. In the terminal it looks like something like this: sudo ssh -i mykp.pem ubuntu@ec2-something..etc.compute-x.amazonaws.com GUI window: ssh://ubuntu@ec2-something..etc.compute-x.amazonaws.com.....??? Thanks in advance for any help! (HowTos)

I am not able to scp from one EC2 instance to another EC2 instance.

I'm getting started with puppet on ec2 using the following guide.

https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/puppet.html

In the very last step when I try to sign the puppet client from the puppet master I get the following error

root@ip-10-248-27-66:/home/ubuntu# puppetca --sign ec2-54-245-56-210.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com err: Could not call sign: Could not find certificate request for ec2

The project I'm working on requires that we mask AWS EC2 host names with our own subdomains.

For example:

ec2-176-34-163-40.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com would map to gf53ef.domain.com

and

ec2-123-31-124-60.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com would map to sdfrh5.domain.com

There will always be list available that stores the relationship between the domains.

I'm trying to login to a Ubuntu box hosted on AWS EC2, which has a route53 domain setup. The domain is resolved to the proper IP, e.g.

I was connecting my ec2 instance via ssh well,after adding new EBS volume restarted the machine by 'sudo shutdown -r now' And after that I tried to access by using follwing command:

ssh -v -i primary_key.pem ubuntu@ec2-23-22-245-160.compute-1.amazonaws.com

which is retuning like below:

debug1: Reading configuration data /Users/caveman/.ssh/config debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_co

I have a t1.micro instance with public dns looks similar to

ec2-184-72-67-202.compute-1.amazonaws.com (some numbers changed)

On this machine, I am running a django app

$ sudo python manage.py runserver --settings=vlists.settings.dev Validating models...

0 errors found Django version 1.4.1, using settings 'vlists.settings.dev' Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/

I have ope

I created a small EC2 instance running Windows Server, and opened up ports 80, 443, and 3389. I needed to Remote Desktop into it from work where the outbound firewall only allows 80 and 443.

I can connect or copy files to EC2 machine via:

ssh -i my.pem ec2-user@ec2.xxx.compute.amazonaws.com

and

scp -i my.pem file.txt ec2-user@ec2.xxx.compute.amazonaws.com:/home/ec2-user

but I want to manage remote files via Midnight Commander. There are "shell links" but how can I use it with key pair connection?

I have a VM on amazon, each day when I start it it givies me a new ip like

ec2-123-45-67-89.compute-1.amazonaws.com

Its a window based machine. I want to install some s/w on that VM so that I dont need to remember that dynamic ip again and again for accessing via remote-desktop software and browsing urls.

Is there any free server dealing with that?
