Cyberduck requesting password to ssh into ec2 instance

Question

I am using cyberduck to login to an EC2 instance. I do not have a password, only a valid .pem key file. My intuition is that Cyberduck does not recognize my .pem file and is therefore requesting a password.

How can I troubleshoot this issue?

What do you mean by "login to an EC2 instance"? Cyberduck does not support SSH. Are you referring to connecting via SFTP? — John Rotenstein, Mar 19 '19 at 17:47

In the Connection or the Bookmark window in Cyberduck select Use Public Key Authentication and choose the private key. Refer to the wiki
