To connect to an Ubuntu Instance we need the script given by AWS instance, we also need to

Change the .pem file permissions to set read-only permissions to the owner of the file, remove
any permission to group and other. Otherwise ssh will refuse this key for use. Be familiar with
this script

if your .pem file is there then right click to an empty screen and click open terminal

after you click terminal you will see this, there you will paste your script copied
something looks like this “chmod 400 yourkey.pem”
You paste the script you copied in the Instance that looks like “chmod 400
yourkey.pem” then press enter then you will see in the download folder that your.pem
file having something like a lock symbol and and your now ready to connect to your
server.
