1. To copy files between your computer and your instance you can use an FTP service like FileZilla or the command scp which stands for secure copy.
2. To use scp with a key pair use the following command: scp -i path/to/key file/to/copy user@ec2-xx-xx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com:path/to/file.
3. To use it without a key pair, just omit the flag -i and type in the password of the user when prompted.
4. To copy an entire directory, add the -r recursive option: scp -i path/to/key -r directory/to/copy user@ec2-xx-xx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com:path/to/directory.
Example:
scp -i /Users/macbook/Documents/SandeepPythonDev.pem -r /Users/macbook/Desktop/KathmanduCottege sandeep@ec2-18-225-31-223.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com:/home/sandeep/DevOps/PythonProjects
