I would like to use Komodo Edit to edit files on my Ubuntu Amazon EC2 instance (running Django).
According to this Old Nabble from 2008 (oh boy) Komodo Edit should support SSH authentication via Pageant keyfiles.
So, I imported my .pem keyfile in PuTTYGen, converted it to .ppk (no password) and loaded it into Pageant. I am able to use PuTTY just fine to SSH into my instance.
I can also use Notepad++'s reasonable NppFTP with the AWS instance by adding the server and using the original .pem file directly (NppFTP doesn't seem to use pageant.)
However, I would like to use Komodo Edit, so I loaded up Komodo Edit, went to Edit -> Preferences --> Servers, and put in my Public DNS address (ec2-174-129-xxx-xxx.compute-2.amazonaws.com) and my username which was required ('ubuntu').
When attempting to connect, however, I get a "Javascript Application Error: ''" (a seemingly empty error) from Komodo Edit. I can't find any sort of logs or console to watch the handshake (Notepad's NppFTP plugin had a nice one.)
Obviously I can just use NppFTP but I would like to get this feature working. Any ideas?
Use putty 0.60. According to this site there's an incompatibility between the versions you are using.
