How do I set up SSH access for an Amazon EC2 instance?

Question

I need SSH access to an Amazon EC2 instance running Ubuntu 10.4. All I have is the Amazon username and password. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I Accepted AWS offer to use the default security groups which included 'All Trafic' ports.

And, after many and many times trying to connect on my new ec2 instance, I just realized that I should edit my used security group and manually add to inbound and outbound the 22 port ( ssh ) !

Hope it helps !
