How do I get a copy of my file?

Hi,

I am a complete AWS newbie, but have had an instance running here for over a decade if you can believe it :)

All I want to do is to try and get a file off my server. I have searched high and low on how to find it, but am completely overwhelmed with where to even start as nothing makes sense to an AWS newbie. By "where to start" i mean I wouldn't have a clue what the first thing I should even click on is. I don't even know if I'm logged into the right area. I've spent hours trying to look but got nowhere, so I apologise for the simple question but I didn't know what else to do.

From someone with over 30 years of IT experience, I find it disturbing that almost every word on every page looks foreign to me :)

[edit] I looked up my DNS and found a server name for my instance xxxxxxxxxx-env.elasticbeanstalk.com

but if I try to SSH to this I get a connection timed out.

How can I connect to this to retrieve my files?

thank you

Hello,

You can use WinSCP to transfer the file from your ec2 to your local system.

It's possible this is a really old deprecated system since it's been running for over a decade with no changes.

Any suggestions?

Hello.

Is it possible to connect to EC2 using SSH?
In that case, how about getting the file using SCP or SFTP?

xxxxxxxxxx-env.elasticbeanstalk.com

From this information, it is assumed that EC2 was probably started using a service called ElasticBeanstalk. First, please configure the EC2 security group inbound rules to allow SSH as described in the document below. https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/elastic-beanstalk-instances-ssh
Security group settings can be configured by following the steps in the document below. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/authorizing-access-to-an-instance.html#add-rule-authorize-access

One of the easiest ways would be to copy the file to an S3 bucket and download it from the GUI

i am a complete AWS newbie. Someone set this up for me over a decade ago. S3 bucket means nothing to me, and I wouldn't have a clue how to find the file to copy it there.....
