When you need to connect securely to  an already running EC2 instance via SSH from a Cloud9, you need to prepare
the instance for Cloud9. AWS Cloud9  generate a SSH public key to connect securely to your EC2 server. To start a secure
connection from Cloud9 via SSH you need to setp the the SSH key, generated by Cloud9, to EC2.
 

 
Step 1
Login to the EC2 instance  and run the below commands:
sudo yum -y update
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.0/install.sh | bash
export NVM_DIR="/home/ec2-user/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
. ~/.bashrc
nvm install node
sudo chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx ~
sudo yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/c9/install/master/install.sh | bash
export NVM_DIR="/root/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" 
 
Step 2
Copy the SSH Key from the Cloud9
 
Step 3
Paste the SSH key to the ec2-user authorization key.
 nano  /home/ec2-user/.ssh/authorized_keys
