Download files from Amazon EC2 using terminal

SCP is a handy tool for downloading files from EC2.

In the following code:

• {user} is the user for the host. In Amazon EC2, this can be "ec2-user" or "ubuntu "
• {domain} is the ec2 address. You can find this by logging into the web ec2 admin panel
• {remote_path} is the path to the file that you want to copy
• {local_path} is the save location in your local drive

scp -i {key} {user}@{domain}:{remote_path} {local_path}
