Connect to ftp on EC2 AWS with user and password

readme.md

Here's what I did on a Ubuntu EC2:

A) Login as root using the keypairs

B) Setup the necessary users and their passwords with

$ sudo adduser USERNAME $ sudo passwd USERNAME

C) Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config setting

For a valid user to login with no key PasswordAuthentication yes

Also want root to login also with no key PermitRootLogin yes

D) Restart the ssh daemon with

$ sudo service ssh restart

Now you can login into your ec2 instance without key pairs.
