When setting up openlitespeed on AWS and trying to scp you can get `.ppk are too open` issue. This gist is a document which would help you fix that.

fix_ppk_are_too_open_openlitespeed.md

Fix .ppk are too open when running the command from your windows WSL

(This may work on windows CMD terminal as well.)

Quick fix command that needs to be used.

sudo scp -i /mnt/d/PuttyKey/live_open_ssh -r /mnt/d/ixi\ backup/November_29_acf8a2576fd1cce99287_20211129171850_archive.zip [email protected]:/var/www/html

When you will run this you may get

scp: /var/www/html/November_29_acf8a2576fd1cce99287_20211129171850_archive.zip: Permission denied

To fix this login into your ec2 instance and run the following command

sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /var/www/html
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html

Fixing permissions for your instance. https://docs.litespeedtech.com/cloud/images/wordpress/#uploading-files

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html
sudo find /var/www/html -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;
sudo find /var/www/html -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;

If you are still getting issues like permission are too open with your ssh key. Do this.

Solution

I had a similar issue but I was at work and don't have the ability to change file permissions on my work computer. What you need to do is install WSL then copy the your key to the hidden ssh directory in WSL:

cp <path to your key> ~/.ssh/<name of your key>

Now you should be able to modify the permissions normally.

sudo chmod 600 ~/.ssh/<your key's name>

Then ssh using WSL:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/<name of your key> <username>@<ip address>
