I have created two ec2EC2 instances on AWS. I created a key pair for each of them. I downloaded the .pem private keys and converted them into .ppk.ppk format. I can connect to each of my ec2 instances using PuTTY and their .ppk private key. But how do I SSH from one of my ec2 instance to the other? I can ping the Public DNS of either of them from the other. But if I try ssh from one to the other, I get: 'Permission denied (publickey).'

Permission denied (publickey).
