ssh - scp (secure copy) to ec2 instance without password -
i have ec2 instance running (freebsd 9 ami ami-8cce3fe5), , can ssh using amazon-created key file without password prompt, no problem.
however, when want copy file instance using scp asked enter password:
scp somefile.txt -i mykey.pem root@my.ec2.id.amazonaws.com:/ password:
any ideas why happening/how can prevented?
i figured out. had arguments in wrong order. works:
scp -i mykey.pem somefile.txt root@my.ec2.id.amazonaws.com:/
