How to copy a file from laptop to EC2

Part 1 - Copy file from laptop to EC2:
Command syntax:
scp -i path/to/pem path/to/file username@PublicDNS:~/file-path-in-EC2

Ex:
scp -i "mykey-keypair.pem" hello-world-file [email protected]:~/hello-world-file-copied

This will copy file hello-world-file  from my laptop to the home directory of the user  (ubuntu) in the target EC2. (homedir is  /home/ubuntu/). The new file name will be hello-world-file-copied.

The keypair name for the EC2 is mykey-keypair.pem.
