Remote Desktop file issue
Hi AWS, I am using an EC2 Windows instance. I used to connect with the instance using the RDP client option. With this option you need to download a remote desktop file and everytime you need to connect to the instance you need to click on that file and provide the password.
Now for instance I stopped the instance and when I restart the instance again and try to use the same remote desktop file it is not working and I need to download it again and have to provide the password. Can you please tell me the reason behind this issue? Is it by design or I am using it wrong way?

Here is what happens:
-
You create an RDP file: Its containing the current IP Address.
-
You stop the instance: When you stop the instance, and there is no EIP attached, the associated IP address is released.
-
You restart the instance: When you start the instance, it may be assigned a different IP address. Your RDP file has been outdated
To resolve this issue, you'll need to download a new RDP file after starting the instance to get the updated IP address and connection details.

David is correct in his answer. To note, you don’t have to download the file each time. You can use the same one or manually connect to its IP by using Remote Desktop client.
