How to access your EC2 linux instance filesystem over ssh using nemo on linux mint using private key?

I assume that following are available:

1. You have a working EC2 linux instance setup
2. You are running linux mint (Actually I use mint)
3. You have access to your private EC2 key (.pem file)

Steps

1. Place your .pem file in ~/.ssh folder and rename it to id_rsa
2. Run following command ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa (This will load the key in ssh-agent)
3. Use the command in sftp://@ in the address bar of nemo.

This will show all the folders on the remote machine. You can choose to add it to favorites...

Cheers!!!
