I've never done it, but I could see where it could occur often. If they can't get the order correct, then you shouldn't have to pay IMO.
P.S. Burger King is the worst!

I've never done it. I just deal with whatever with the company or just take the wrong order, as It doesn't usually bother me much.

OK, I've now joined the C@C party!

One thing I already like better is that, unlike how Amazon uses public and private keys, which makes setting up things like Rsync between servers impossible (so it feels), C@C doesn't do this. I now have my current server on C@C doing mysqldumps and rsyncs to my local server over Pertino and it just works! Woohoo!

This doesn't make sense. Amazon uses a preset key for your root account. Once you've logged in, everything is the same. Just set a password if you want a password (you should not.) And any user accounts that you make use whatever you tell them to make. Amazon doesn't change how the OS works.

You can't SSH without that public key though. So if you have the IP, username and password, if you don't have that file from Amazon that you get through your account, you can SSH to them, and I couldn't figure out how to Rsync with it...

Of course you can. Just set the password. Amazon doesn't alter anything. It's the same as any Linux OS anywhere else. Why would you need Amazon to set your password for you?

I did set the password. But if you try to login directly as root, it won't let you.

I don't know how they have it setup but I've tried.

Just change the SSHD config to allow passwords. And why are you running RSYNC as root and using anything other than KEYS!!!!
-
How are you attempting to use Rsync with a password? There are several things wrong here. That root uses keys is needed for Rsync to be secure and to work properly.

Why do you want passwords. Keys are more secure. You can use rsync with keys
rsync -avz /path/local -e "ssh -i /path/sshkey" name@awsinstance:/path/remote/ -

I'm not worried about it anymore. I setup keys between my C@C and local server and got Rsync working that way. I'm dropping AWS.

@thecreativeone91 not only more secure, but faster and the only way, with any security, to have Rsync work in a script.

Yes, I know. That's how I'm doing it.

So you switched to.... keys? What was the complaint then?

Yes, I'm using keys. Never mind. I already explained it. Lol
