Ok. What do you mean by "It won't accept my key" ? – Eric Ly Apr 15 '15 at 07:58

@DeadEye it says "Error: Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)" and then on the next line it says "Error: Could not connect to server" – Kasai Jefferson Apr 15 '15 at 08:12

It seems like your ssh key is not loaded by Filezilla. You can try two different solutions :
1/ Connect to the GCE through a SSH connection in your shell, then try to connect with FileZilla (this uses the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable)
2/ Add your key to FileZilla :
- Click on "Edit" and then "Settings"
- Go to "Connection" and then "SFTP"
- Click on "Add keyfile"
- Select your private key file and open it.
- Click on OK
Use sftp://INSTANCE and your username to connect to your GCE instance.

Please check, if you are connecting using the correct user name. Google sometimes has problems parsing the username out of the pasted public key.
You can check the username associated to the key on https://console.developers.google.com/project/$yourprojectid/compute/metadata/sshKeys
