How to scp from MacOSX to Amazon EC2?

Question

I tried the command

scp -i /Users/nehagupta/Desktop/aaa.pem /Users/nehagupta/Desktop/file.fa [email protected]:/mnt/abc/

but it gives me

Warning: Identity file /Users/nehagupta/Desktop/matt.pem not accessible: No such file or directory. Permission denied (publickey). lost connection

Answer 1

Are you on your local machine or on EC2?

You should try the above command from your local machine.

Answer 2

You can Upload more as one file with this command:

scp -P SSH_PORT /Users/blubb/keys/sys/cert.pem /Users/blubb/keys/sys/pk.pem yournamenotrootaccount@yourserver:/home/blubb

make sure your security group has the right to connect from your local adress to your server via ssh!
