I have a EC2 server running on AWS. So, far it's been 6 months and the service against the price is great. But now I have to get a new pair of SSH keys for an another computer. Is it even doable? If yes then how?
It is the file we are talking about.

Code:
/home/users/ec2-user/.ssh/authorized_keys

Now you can do two things here. Create a keypair via ssh-keygen and add the public half to the above file. Or, you can create a new user and add the key pair to the file within their user directory after that.

My suggestion to you will be create a new user for your second machine. It will be much wiser way.

Create new user just like suggested.

There are other methods such as giving away log in info to others and what nots including creating a new key pair. But those are not recommended.
Tried to create a new keywpair and failed miserably. Tongue
