Hi Martin,
I hope you could help me. I am trying to follow your
directions here and having problems:
http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/article.php?id=306&group=eclipse.dsdp.tm
I have SSH login into my Amazon EC2 server working just
fine with WinSCP. Now, I set up Eclipse/RSE, exported OpenSSH key from
PuTTyGen, loaded it through the Key Management tab, then used “Save
Private Key” button to save it as “id_rsa” which is listed correctly in
“General” tab. Just in case, I also made sure that the files (id_rsa and
id_rsa.pub) exist and contain the key. I restarted Eclipse just in
case.
However, when I try to make a connection (user “root”, no
password entered), I always get “Auth fail” error. I tried to create various
types of connections “SSH only”, “Linux” or “FTP only” but nothing works. This
should not be a server problem as WinSCP works fine… I even tried to import my
Amazon EC2 certificate into Remote Systems -> SSL menu dialog, but this did
not help either.
What could be wrong? Where to look for problems? I am out
of ideas on how to troubleshoot this…
Thanks!
Dmitriy
