I am trying to build up a connection to Amazon EC2 via SSH.
Sadly I cannot find the folder to put my .pem file in.
When typing
~/.ssh
In the terminal I get:
No such file or directory
I have already tried to set up a key to create the folder:
sudo ssh-keygen -t rsa
Still cannot find it.
I am really a beginner and would appreciate some help.

A . file is a hidden file (or folder) on a Mac. You'll have to turn on hidden files by entering this is the terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
Edit: I just realized you are attempting to find it from the terminal, which is not affected by the visibility. So, if you can't find it, it's not there. It'll have to be created.
mkdir ~/.ssh

2Then create the folder like so:
mkdir ~/.ssh. If you never used ssh before it won't exist. – Felix – 2013-06-04T10:43:21.223
