You have to type a lot to do a simple ssh. Here's how to save some typing.

$ sudo vi /etc/hosts

Add a line like:

54.165.3.13   ec2

where the number is your ec2 machine's IP address.

$ vi ~/.ssh/config

and add

Host ec2
  User ubuntu
  UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
  StrictHostKeyChecking no
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/KeyPair.pem

Now you can login with

$ ssh ec2

You can even copy to and from with

$ scp local_file ec2:remote_file
