I created an EC2 CentOS instance to host my php web app development version, I\'m using Sublime Text as an IDE, and SFTP plugin to upload files directly then test.
Befor
Just to add to One Bad Panda's comment, Please dont use these commands in Windows 7 to point to key file
"sftp_flags": ["-i /C/cygwin/home/Ehsan/.ssh/ekia_ec2.pem"] "sftp_flags": ["-o IdentityFile=/C/cygwin/home/Ehsan/.ssh/ekia_ec2.pem"]
instead use
"ssh_key_file": "C:/.../yourkey.ppk"
