WordPress files on LightSail

Hi THere

You can connect to your Linux and Unix Lightsail instances using a third-party SSH client, and connect to your Windows instances using a third-party RDP client.

See https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/understanding-ssh-in-amazon-lightsail

The above guidance is helpful if you are looking to access your WordPress instance file system from outside the console. If you are interested in viewing & managing site content, you may find the guidance here helpful: https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-tutorial-launching-and-configuring-wordpress#signing-in-to-the-administration-dashboard

Specifically, you can follow the guidance to find your WP admin password, and login to the admin dashboard. From there, you can manage your posts and media.

You may also want to ssh into the instance and edit one or both of the following if you are running into trouble enabling HTTPS:

• sudo nano /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami.conf
• sudo nano /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami-ssl.conf

There's also a tutorial specifically for enabling HTTPS w/ WordPress in Lightsail: https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-enabling-https-on-wordpress.
