Seems like you forget to provide the ubuntu username in your command. try:
ssh -i "path to pem" ubuntu@ip-address
Hi,
Thanks for you answer. I removed the sensitive data from the command, this is what I used:
ssh -i "~/path/to/pem" ubuntu@ec2----*.eu-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

Add -v and ensure that key is used.

The PEM file exists?
Please generate public key from private key and verify if it is match with server public key. ssh-keygen -f <path of pem file> -y. You can try to login through Systems Manager also. Nowadays some EC2 instances are coming with Systems Manager pre-installed.
The PEM file exists and I have double and triple checked it's path.
How can I know if the EC2 instance has systems manager? I launched the instance a couple months ago
