  • Not exactly how amazon describes importing a key ... Have you tied the methods laid out in their own documentation on docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/… ?

  • I'm not importing a key, simply using one I downloaded and created when I initialized the instance. The problem I'm trying to solve here is how to change permissions so it can be usable when ssh'ing into my instance.

    Unfortuntaly i dont know why WSL doesnt allow chmod 400. I did find someone's solution was to copy the cert to their WSL home directory (~) and chmod 400 there without problems. (link to discussion github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/81)
