Transfer files to and from your EC2 instance

To transfer files between your local machine and an EC2 instance, you will need scp (secure copy) available on your machine. The command to transfer files from your machine to your EC2 instance is:

scp -i ./path_to_your_key_pair_cer_files ./path_to_file_which_you_want_transfered ec2-user@public_IPv4_dns_of_your_ec2_instance:path_in_EC2

The command to transfer files from your EC2 instance to your local machine is very similar, you need to swap the two paths:

scp -i ./path_to_your_key_pair_cer_files ec2-user@public_IPv4_dns_of_your_ec2_instance:path_in_EC2 ./path_to_file_which_you_want_transfered
