Is there a way to scp between two aws instances from my local computer?

I want to make a script to backup my files from the fileserver I have(EFS) to an S3 bucket. I want to run it from my computer and the problem is that I don´t know how to make this connection with a PEM File.



I have found in the internet that i can use a scp command to to what I want.

But I have to use my PEM file to connect and I can´t find out where it goes here.



scp -r yourusername@yourserver:/home/yourusername/examplefile yourusername2@yourserver2:/home/yourusername2/

you can use your pem file in the same way like you do use with ssh client with a -i switch in your case



scp -i <Path To PEM File> -r yourusername@yourserver:/home/yourusername/examplefile yourusername2@yourserver2:/home/yourusername2/
