-===== Introduction =====
-\\
-There are a few ways to transfer files to and from an Amazon EC2 instance. If you are using a desktop environment, then you can use programs like Putty, WinSCP or MobaXterm. These graphically driven programs make transferring files very simple.

-However, from the command line it can be a little trickier. In this example we will look at transferring files to and from an Amazon EC2 instance from the Linux command line using SCP.

-==== How to transfer files ====
-\\
-To be able to connect to your Amazon EC2 instance you will require your EC2 Instance key pair. Copy your key file to a directory on your source Linux server.

-{{ :scp_001.jpg?600 |}}
-\\
-\\
-Before we can use the key we have to change its permissions, if you don't do this Amazon will reject the key on security grounds.
-\\
-\\
-Use chmod to change your key.pem file permissions.
-\\
-\\
-{{ :scp_002.jpg?600 |}}
-\\
-    chmod 0400 keyfile.pem
-\\
-The keyfile.pem should now have the following permissions: <color #ff7f27>-r--------. 1 root root 1692 Jul 26 07:47 keyfile.pem</color>
