Uploading file to AWS from local machine

amazon-ec2, amazon-web-services

Solution

You can use plain `scp`:

scp -i ~/Downloads/file.pem local_image_file user@ec2_elastic_ip:/home/user/images/

You need to put an Elastic IP to the EC2 instance, open port 22 to your local machine IP in the EC2 instance security group, and use the right user (it can be ec2-user, admin or ubuntu (look at the AMI documentation)).
