Steps for Website migration Local to AWS Server using FileZilla

What you need first

From your AWS EC2 instance:

• Public IP / Public DNS on AWS
• Key Pair (.pem file or .ppk file)
• Ubuntu username (usually ubuntu)

STEP 1: Convert .pem to .ppk (for FileZilla) if you have .pem file

FileZilla uses .ppk format, not .pem.

1. Open PuTTYgen
2. Click Load → Select your .pem file
3. Click Save private key
4. Save it as: my-key.ppk

STEP 2: Open FileZilla & Go to Site Manager

1. Open FileZilla
2. Click:
   File → Site Manager → New Site

STEP 3: Configure Your AWS Connection on FileZilla

Enter following details:

Protocol: SFTP — SSH File Transfer Protocol
Host: Your AWS Public IP
Port: 22
Logon Type: Key file
User: ubuntu
Key File: (browse and select .ppk file)

STEP 4: Connected View

After successful connection:

• Left side → Your local PC
• Right side → Your AWS Ubuntu server

FileZilla Connected View

STEP 5: Upload Your Website

Two common locations to upload:

Option A: Apache (default)

Upload files to: /var/www/html

Option B: Nginx

Upload files to: /usr/share/nginx/html

Method:

Drag your website folder from left side to right side.

Drag → my-website-folder
To → /var/www/html

STEP 6: Fix Folder Permissions

If you get permission errors, run this on your linux server:

sudo chown -R ubuntu:www-data /var/www/html
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html

STEP 7: Open Your Website

In browser:
