title: AWS SFTP error Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey) on filezilla
body: <p>I've created a new EC2 instance on Amazon AWS and tested the TTY with mindterm. Everything worked well, so i set up apache 2.2 on the instance and decided to connect by SFTP using FileZilla (configured a new site with the correct URL, the default user and SFTP as protocol). I've downloaded the .pem, converted it into .ppk and set it as key in FileZilla. When i tried to connect, it gave the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've manually checked the keyfiles and everything is correct according to
  <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/managing-users.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/managing-users.html</a></p>
  
  <p>How can i solve this?</p>

  <p>EDIT:
  PuTTY gives the following error:
          Unable to use key file "C:\Users\S▒rgio\Downloads\key_netnografia.ppk" (OpenSSH SSH-2 private key)
  (the ▒ was supposed to be an "é")</p>
