Using Secure Copy (SCP) Command:

Open the terminal on the local machine.

Execute the command: scp -i your-key.pem / path / to / your / file.jar ec2-user at your-ec2-instance-ip:/ path / on / ec2 / instance

Replace your-key.pem with your private key, / path / to / your / file.jar with the local .jar file path, ec2-user with the EC2 instance username, your-ec2-instance-ip with the EC2 instance IP, and /path/on/ec2/instance with the directory path on the EC2 instance.

Connecting to EC2 via SSH:

Once the .jar file is transferred, connect to the EC2 instance via SSH.

Move to the directory where the .jar file is transferred.

Run the server application using the .jar file by executing: java -jar file.jar

This process allows the seamless transfer of the .jar file to the EC2 instance and enables running the server application through the Cloud VPN connection.

The Complete Question

What is the process to transfer a .jar file from a local machine to an AWS EC2 instance, enabling the connection of a server application to run via Cloud VPN?
