I'm trying to connect to my EC2 instance with terminal:

ssh -i server.cer ubuntu@ec2-**-**-***-**.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

but have

The authenticity of host 'ec2----.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com (...)' can't be established.

ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:*************************.

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?

Host key verification failed

I couldn't connect to it with EC2 Instance Connect (browser-based SSH connection), but can do this with Filezilla.

If this matters I've deleted known_hosts file and made a new one.
