@ WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Permissions 0644 for '/Users/andrewfletcher/Sites/PEM/{project}.pem' are too open.
It is required that your private key files are NOT accessible by others.
This private key will be ignored.
Load key "/Users/andrewfletcher/Sites/PEM/{project}.pem": bad permissions

chmod 0600 {key_name}.pemTest logging in again, now without issue.
