Downloading a file from EC2 Linux instance to local computer

Question

I have an EC2 Ubuntu instance and there are some project files stored in that instance. I was trying to transfer those files to my local computer. But I am getting an error.

scp -i /home/ritesh/.ssh/......./myfiles.zip(Source File)

But i am getting an error. So, what could be the issue?

Answer 1

It would have been better if you had specified that error message. Anyway, the problem might be because you haven't specified the destination path. If it's in your current directory, just add . to your command.

Hope this helped!
