Uploading data to SAS AWS using sftp

[BalassaSamuelso]

Dear all, 

I am using SAS University Edition on Amazon Web Services. Since the upload restriction via the SAS interface is 10MB, I tried using FileZille to upload my dataset manually. 

I followed these instructions: http://angus.readthedocs.org/en/2014/amazon/transfer-files-between-instance.html

and used my public DNS as host to connect to. Username "sasdemo" and Password my instance ID. I tried it without a keyfile, but also using one. I always get the error

Error:        Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)

Error:        Could not connect to server

Thank you so much for helping me!

To everyone facing the same problem:

- It is not possible to access SAS on AWS in any way other than via the GUI

- no ftp, no sftp
