Trying to deploy my first web app and am having difficulty SSH into AWS. When I enter:

ssh -v -i ec2-myportfolio.pem root@ec2-23-23-165-24.compute-1.amazonaws.com

I get Permission denied(public key). I looked at a couple of the other responses on stack over flow like this and this, but neither resolved the issue. Below is the error I get. Thanks in advance for the help.

I think your problem is in this line:

Warning: Identity file ec2-myportfolio.pem not accessible: No such file or directory.

Are you using the proper path reference and file name in your ssh command?
