I have existing instances running and I can connect to them fine. Even if I start a new instance from one of my saved
ami's I can connect to it fine but any new public or community
ami (I've tried 2 offical Ubuntu
ami's and 1 Fedora quickstart ami) I get permission denied (publickey). The permissions are good on my key file. I've also tried creating a new keyfile. My
ec2 firewall rules are good, I've also tried creating a new group. This is the error I'm getting.
ssh -v -i ec2-keypair
