How to download a file from an EC2 server using SSH & SCP

Question

I have a server on EC2 that I'm trying to download a file from. I'm able to access the EC2 box like so:

$ ssh -i ~/Documents/mysite.pem ec2-user@ec2-50-100-100-100.compute-1.amazonaws.com

That gets me in the box and then I try the following:

scp -i /Documents/mysite.pem ec2-user@ec2-50-100-100-100.compute-1.amazonaws.com:.bash_history /Users/Me

But that errors with:

Warning: Identity file mysite.pem not accessible: No such file or directory.

is there a trick to getting scp to look for my pem file locally? Thanks

在pem文件上尝试chmod 400。

I have the same problem. None of the comments mentioned above work.
