How to fix the Java SSH Client mindterm I/O error in AWS?

Mindterm I/O Error Read Failed  Unknown Error

When you to connect using Java SSH client provided in AWS, you might experience I/O unknown read error. I wish the error is bit more clear as I has spend few minuted trying to figure out the root cause.

This error is usually caused when you don't specify the full path for the key file including the key file name.

Specify the full path for the private key path as shown in picture. This should resolve the "I/O issue: read error" or alert experienced while connecting through Java SSH client in AWS.
