So far I have:
Created a keypair and assigned it to my elastic beanstalk instance.
I have downloaded the keypair and given it 400 permissions.
I have acquired the current public DNS host name for the instance.
I have determined that the username i am suppose to use for the AMI is "ec2-user"
And I have constructed my command with this info in the following way
ssh -vvv -i ~/.ssh/dreamcal-dev.pem ec2-user@ec2-54-79-66-190.ap-southeast-2.compute.amazonaws.com
And this is the ouput

(I blocked out my IP address from the above)
I have tried changing permissions and owners on things. Can anyone see what's missing or point me in the right direction?
I did see somewhere about "unmounting" something to change permissions on the server but that is a little beyond my understanding. Surely that isn't the only fix? How do other people successfully SSH in without having to jump through all these hoops?
