The following aws tutorial explain how to copy files between local computer and ec2 instance (AWS). You can copy your files using the 'SCP command' from your local machine, and transferring files to your AWS instance can be possible from your command prompt. To copy files between local computer and ec2 instance, follow these steps: In AWS management console: Creat security group Creat keypair (.pem) Launch EC2 instance. Attach keypair and security group convert keypair .pem to .ppk SSH into your ec2 instance and run the following commands sudo su yum update -y yum install httpd -y cd /var/www/html chown ec2-user . On your computer: Copy the keypair (.pem format) to the folder where the files(that you want to transfer) are present. Open the command prompt Change directory to the location of your folder Run the following command for copying the file to copy only the contents of local_dir and not the directory local_dir itself: scp -i ./key-pair.pem ./path/to/files/ username@public-ip:/pathwhere/you/need/to/copy For example: scp -i ./Ec2KeyPair.pem -r ./Velocity/* [email protected]:/var/www/html To copy a single file from local directory: scp -i ./Ec2KeyPair.pem ./scp.txt [email protected]:/var/www/html Copy directory local_dir with all its sub-directories: scp -i ./Ec2KeyPair.pem -r ./Velocity [email protected]:/var/www/html Copy only the contents of local_dir and not the directory local_dir itself: scp -i ./Ec2KeyPair.pem -r ./Velocity/* [email protected]:/var/www/html AWS Tutorial - How to Copy Files From Your Local Computer to EC2 Instance Using The SCP Command #AWS #VPC #AWSTutorialForBeginners
