.pem vs private key file
 
Hey LQ,

I'm trying to get SSHFS to remotely mount a server as a directory and it gives me two options, private key file or password. Unfortunately my Amazon EC2 instance uses something called .pem which doesn't appear to be valid.

Is there a way I can turn a .pem file into a private key file?

Seen this?

Create a
AWS_ACCESS_KEY / AWS_SECRET_KEY combination.

Use that pair in .passwd-s3fs
