SFTP freeBSD

SFTP port is open by default by AWS. So just log in, and ftp.

# sftp -i "aws-domo.pem" ubuntu@ec2-13-55-197-77.ap-southeast-2.compute.amazonaws.com

Check Present Working Directory from a remote server.

sftp> lpwd

Remote working directory: /tecmint/

Local working directory: 

sftp> pwd

Upload a File

sftp> put local.profile

However, if you don’t plan to use SFTP/SCP to transfer files you should disable it. Do this by commenting out the line that starts with # Subsystem sftp at the bottom of the file.

# ee /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Don't forget: Setting up your router port forwarding to 22

Funny mistake: You need to log in from the outside network to log in with the public IP!
