How to upload file to AWS ec2 instance?

Question

Hey I am trying to upload a folder of file from my local ubuntu os to aws ubuntu server for that I have tried filezilla and it work perfect but when I am trying to use this command :

 sudo scp -i ~/Desktop/jumpbook.pem ~/Desktop/ommlogo.png  ubuntu@ec2-52-24-103-139.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:~/var/

I am getting this error :

-bash: /home/nilay/Desktop/jumpbook.pem: Permission denied

How can I upload files to aws cloud server .

Answer 1

Use ls -l /home/nilay/Desktop/jumpbook.pem to check pem file permissions.

It should be -r-------- . Otherwise, execute chmod 400 /home/nilay/Desktop/jumpbook.pem and try scp again.
