SCP No such file or directory

1.1k Views Asked by At

I am trying to extract some .pem certificates files used to encrypt my server but for some reason cannot do it using SCP

I am unable to copy them over to my own machine

Error

Here are the files in the EC2 instance

ls -la output

Not sure why they are showing as red, but after some reading saw that it means they are zipped

Errors when executing SCP command:

scp: /home/ec2-user/certificates/fullchain.pem: No such file or directory
scp: /home/ec2-user/certificates/privkey.pem: No such file or directory
scp: /home/ec2-user/certificates/chain.pem: No such file or directory
scp: /home/ec2-user/certificates/cert.pem: No such file or directory

Edit: Moved to another directory and copied again, set permissions to 777 using

sudo chmod 777 -R falltoyourdeathbe.co.uk/

but still cannot copy - any ideas? They are still showing as an archive no idea why scp still not working on .pem files but fine on readme

Edit 2: Various commands run to show that there is not a /home/archive directory and that the folder with the certificates now sits under /home/ec2-user/ Another screenshot
