  • What user do you ssh to on the EC2 instance (e.g., "ec2-user")? What user owns the /images directory on the EC2 instance? Is /images the directory on the EC2 instance or is it the path of the URL on a web server? Is your local computer Windows? Linux? Mac? Commented Aug 13, 2013 at 6:37
  • Are you familiar with man pages? They provide extensive documentation on commands. You can read all about how to use scp by executing man scp. Commented Dec 17, 2016 at 16:14
