I'm trying to rsync a file over to my EC2 instance:
rsync -Paz --rsh "ssh -i ~/.ssh/myfile.pem" --rsync-path "sudo rsync" file.pdf
[email protected]:/home/ubuntu/
This gives the following error message:
Warning: Identity file ~/.ssh/myfile.pem not accessible: No such file or directory.

The pem file is definitely located at the path ~/.ssh/myfile.pem, though: vi ~/.ssh/myfile.pem shows me the file.
If I remove the remote path from the very end of the rsync command:
rsync -Paz --rsh "ssh -i ~/.ssh/myfile.pem" --rsync-path "sudo rsync" file.pdf
[email protected]
Then the command appears to work...
building file list ...
1 file to consider
file.pdf
41985 100% 8.79MB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#1, to-check=0/1)
sent 41795 bytes received 42 bytes 83674.00 bytes/sec
total size is 41985 speedup is 1.00
...but when I go to the remote server, nothing has actually been transferred.
What am I doing wrong?
