title: Upload to Amazon EC2 as root using Sublime Text SFTP Plugin
body: <p>Under Windows, how can you configure Sublime Text's FTP plugin to use an SSH key to upload files to the EC2 server via SFTP as the <code>root</code> user?</p>
  
  <p>I am getting <code>Connection Timeout</code> error using the following config in <code>sftp-config.json</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"type": "sftp",
  "host": "ec2-xx-xxx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com",
  "user": "root",
  "ssh_key_file": "F:\\SSH Keys\\aws\\xxx.ppk",
  </code></pre>
