Hi

You can utilize the pem file to connect to your instance using filezilla. You will need to import the key to filezilla and then connect to the instance then you should be able to download your files.

Have a look at this guide -> [https://tecadmin.net/import-private-key-in-filezilla/](https://tecadmin.net/import-private-key-in-filezilla/)

Another good tool to connect is WinSCP (If you are using a Windows machine) -> [https://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_public_key](https://winscp.net/eng/docs/guide_public_key)

However, before any of this make sure that your instance is reachable from the internet and that you can connect using SSH. -> [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AccessingInstancesLinux.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AccessingInstancesLinux.html)
