第一次设置 aws ec2 - 密钥对

Question

I am following this tutorial (see 'Create Key-Pair' section), and am getting an error when trying to perform chmod on my key pair.

The error I get is

No such file or directory

file name is abcd.pem my username is xyz region is seoul

The above are just examples.

How should I construct the following command

chmod 400 your_user_name-key-pair-region_name.pem

should it be

chmod 400 xyz-abcd-seoul.pem ??

Answer 1

You want to make sure you specify the full path to the file, not just the file name. The file name is just that, the file name - you only include your username and region if the region name and/or username are actually part of the filename.

Do a dir or ls and find out the actual filename as it exists on your local disk, and path, and then use that in your chmod command.
