Copy files from local linux computer to amazon aws linux instance

amazon-ec2

Solution

We can do that through scp command shown below:

scp -i testkey1.pem sourcefile ec2-user@ec2-51-122-239-158.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:outputfile

or if you want to copy a complete directory

scp -i testkey1.pem -r sourcefolder/ ec2-user@51.122.444.128:~/

- -i is the option for pem file

- ec2-51-122-239-158.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com is the public dns address, You can get this value from aws console of your instance.
