Rsync to Amazon Ec2 Instance
I have an EC2 instance running and I am able to SSH into it.
However, when I try to rsync, it gives me the error Permission denied (publickey).
The command I'm using is:
rsync -avL --progress -e ssh -i ~/mykeypair.pem ~/Sites/my_site/* [email protected]:/var/www/html/
I also tried
rsync -avz ~/Sites/mysite/* -e "ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub" [email protected]:/var/www/html/
Thanks,

I just received that same error. I had been consistently able to ssh with:
ssh -i ~/path/mykeypair.pem \
[email protected]
But when using the longer rsync construction, it seemed to cause errors. I ended up encasing the ssh statement in quotations and using the full path to the key. In your example:
rsync -avL --progress -e "ssh -i /path/to/mykeypair.pem" \
~/Sites/my_site/* \
[email protected]:/var/www/html/
That seemed to do the trick.
