Chris, 

~/.ssh/config does not exist. Can I create it? What goes in it? 

I do find ~/.ssh/local_hosts 

Thanks, 
Morgan

Can someone give me the correct syntax for making an SSH connection to an EC2 server using tramp (from emacs)? 

What do type after you C-x, C-f and are faced with the "Find file:" prompt? How do you include .pem file? 

Thanks, 
Morgan 




For convenience, you can specify the location of the pem file via the IdentityFile parameter in your ssh config file. Everything else can be done with tramp's usual functionality. 


Chris.
