Transfering a file from local machine to EC2 instance

Question

I am running an Ubuntu ec2 instance using aws and I am trying to import a file from my local machine into it, but I created it without a key pair. How do I transfer the file?

Answer

1. What I have done in the past is upload the file to a S3 bucket.
2. Ensure the IAM role on the EC2 has access to the bucket
3. Use AWS S3 cli to copy the file locally to the EC2

Answer

Hello.

For Ubuntu, I think it is possible to use Systems Manager Session Manager.  
How about connecting to EC2 with Session Manager and setting a private key for SCP?
