Adding ssh Keys to an Existing EC2 Instance

Useful for granting access to SFTP, especially if there are multiple users on the instance (not ec2-user)

1. Create a new key pair in the EC2 Console, and download it.
2. Connect to the instance using the AWS browser terminal.
3. Create a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file in the user directory you want to access.
4. Locally, retrieve the public key by running ssh-keygen -y -f /path_to_key_pair/my-key-pair.pem
5. Paste the output into the authorized_keys file you just created.
6. You can now use the key pair to connect locally. You'll need to use the correct username, default is ec2-user
