Can't connect to theme files with Filezila. Also, a dashboard and website are white out.

  • Unknown's avatar

    I got a Bitnami WordPress through AWS EC2.
    While editing through WordPress dashboard, I edited function.php file.
    Since then, I can not reach to the dashboard and neither website as well.
    In order to solve this issue, I tried to connect remotely with using Filezila.
    However, it only shows me this message.

    ‘Status: Connecting to (my website’s IP address)…
    Response: fzSftp started, protocol_version=8
    Command: keyfile ‘/xxx/zzz/Desktop/weleda.pem’
    Command: open ‘bitnami@(my website’s IP address)’ 22
    Command: Trust new Hostkey: Once
    Error: Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)
    Error: Could not connect to server’

    I created a key-pair to use Filezila because I did not make when I got this website’s WordPress account in EC2.
    Now, I have a key-pair file with pem format and applied to Filezila.
    Also, I tried to fill out for host, ‘my website’s IP address’ and for username, ‘bitnami’.
    I’ve tried so many different ways even with Cyberduck, and changing a key-pair file format from pem to ppk.
    In Cyberduck, it required me a password somehow then I can’t connect neither from Cyberduck.
    Yet, it seems there is another issue which I couldn’t find by myself to connect my WordPress account with Filezila.

    Could you please give me your advice in order to recover my WordPress website and dashboard?
    If I can connect to the theme files in my WordPress account, it helps me to recover my website and a dashboard back.
    I’ve asked for a support to AWS EC2, yet, they answered me to ask in WordPress.
