[SOLVED] How to Connect EC2 Instance with VSCode Directly using pem file in SFTP

Issue

I'm trying to connect EC2 Instance directly from VS Code using SFTP. I can able to connect other ftp service using [password] type, but for EC2 instance i'm having only .pem file. Expecting something like this but using public key .pem file 

{
"protocol": "sftp",
"host": "localhost",
"port": 22,
"username": "username",
"remotePath": "/"
}

Solution

Try this config.json on VScode 

{
    "remotePath": "/",
    "host": "<IP-OR_EC2-INSTANCE-HOST-NAME>", 
    "username": "USERNAME",
    "password": "PASSWORD",
    "port": 22,
    "secure": true,
    "protocol": "sftp",
    "uploadOnSave": true, 
    "passive": false,
    "debug": true,
    "privateKeyPath": "<PATH-TO-PEM-FILE>",
    "passphrase": null,
    "ignore": [
       ------
    ],
    "generatedFiles": {
        "uploadOnSave": false,
        "extensionsToInclude": [],
        "path": ""
    }
}
