title: SFTP to EC2 Windows Instance
body: <p>So i've setup a windows instance, but can't seem to FTP into it.  After much research, i've discovered SFTP is the way forward.</p>
  
  <p>I've setup my security group, adding the following rule:
   SSH  tcp  22  22  0.0.0.0/0</p>
  
  <p>Using the public DNS name supplied in the console, i try to SFTP in using Filezilla &amp; Cyberduck, but they just time out. </p>
  
  <p>I know the next step is sorting out the key pairs, but i doubt that'll do me any good if my server isn't even accepting connections.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea what i've missed?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:
  Looking at the Filezilla logs, its looks like the server isn't responding to the connection requests...</p>

  <p>Do i need to install an SFTP/SSH server on the server? I was under the impression it was already setup for Amazon servers for some reason... am i wrong about that?</p>
