Wowza Amazon EC2 Filezilla FTP Access

To access your wowza install on an amazon ec2 server using Filezilla FTP, you will need the *.pem key pair file that you downloaded when setting up your server. If you didn’t create a key pair and download the file, you will need to do that and then re-launch your server.

In Filezilla, open preferences and click on SFTP. Next, click on “Add Keyfile” and select your *.pem file from Amazon. It will ask you to convert it to the correct format, go ahead and do that. You should now have an entry in the box for that key file. Close preferences.

Create a new site, using your Amazon EC2 server URL as the host. Leave the port blank and select SFTP as the protocol. For logon type, choose normal, and put “ec2-user” in the username field. You can leave the rest blank or at their defaults.

You should now be able to successfully FTP connect to your server.
