Modifies key copy to include SSH folder.
Now, let's copy authentication information to your new account so you can log in directly next time.
From your secondary ''yourusername'' acountaccount:
# Copy the authorized key file and its folder with this command: <code>sudo cp ~ec2-user/.ssh/authorized_keys ~/.ssh/authorized_keys</code> (It may ask for a password. Use the secondary user account password you just set up.)# Change the new file's ownership: <code>sudo chown ''yourusername'':''yourusername'' ~/.ssh/authorized_keys</code>
# Now, completely log out back to your local system. Type <code>exit</code> and press Enter to get back to your ''ec2-user'' account. Then, type <code>exit</code> and press Enter again to fully log out.
# From your local machine, use the SSH command to login, but replace ''ec2-user'' before the @ symbol with ''yourusername''. It should log you in directly! Use that new account for the rest of this lab.
