How do I set identity file on config?

[miaekim]

Hello I am using amazon aws ec2 as my remote machine

I use private key file .pem to connect my machine.

sftp -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i .ssh/myidrsa ubuntu@ec2-banana.amazon.com

I used following config

{
    "folders": [{
        "uri": "sftp://ubuntu@ec2-banana.amazon.com/",
        "name": "miae"
    }],
    "settings": {key=myidrsa}
}

but it showed

Is there any way to pass identity_file to code-workspace?

The parameters are for the URI, not for the settings:

{
    "folders": [
        {
            "uri": "sftp://ubuntu@ec2-banana.amazon.com/?key=myidrsa",
            "name": "miae"
        }
    ]
}

Thank you for quick reply!!

However I still see that not found error message. Is there step i am missing to run vscode-reomote-ws? because i could connect the ec2 machine with sftp command line

Is the myidrsa file stored inside the .ssh subfolder of your home directory? Or is there another key file you use? Does it need a password / passphrase to access?

Can you try it again by using debug parameter and check your logs inside .vscode-remote-workspace/.logs folder inside your home directory?

{
    "folders": [
        {
            "uri": "sftp://ubuntu@ec2-banana.amazon.com/?debug=1&key=myidrsa",
            "name": "miae"
        }
    ]
}
