I don't know if you're aware of this but if you need to connect
frequently to the same server you can type less if you put the
following in you ssh config (~/.ssh/config):

Host myserver
     Hostname ec2-107-20-32-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com
     User ec2-user

You'll be able to connect like this:
- in the shell: $ ssh myserver
- on Emacs: C-x C-f /ssh:myserver:/path/to/file
