Amazon EC2: RSA Key generation

0 comments
Hey all,

Question for you regarding iSSH and Amazon EC2: I'm trying to connect
to my Amazon EC2 server by generating a RSA key on iSSH, then copying
the public key over to my EC2 server. I've been following the general
outline provided by Ryan Wilson on his blog:

http://blog.augmentedfragments.com/2008/09/connecting-to-ec2-from-issh-on-iphone.html

Steps I have taken so far on iSSH:

Load iSSH
General Settings
Generate RSA Key
Email Public Key to myself

On my server:

cd .ssh
Edit authorized_keys
Add the public key: ssh-rsa blahblahblah-iphone-rsa-key-todaysdate
Save and exit
Restart SSH: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart

Back on iSSH:

Create new configuration
Host: <my server ip>
Port: Default
Login: <my user name>
Use RSA Key: On
The rest are set to defaults

Now, I can successfully connect to the server, but I receive the
following authentication error:

Connection Failed
Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available


Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
