I have a free amazon EC2 machine. for some reason I can not transfer files using FileZilla from the EC2 machine to my local machine. I entered the machine public DNS and user name (which is ubuntu as my machine is Ubuntu 18.04). 

ftps://mymachine.compute.amazonaws.com

But I am getting this error:

Error:  Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity
Error:  Could not connect to server

The keys are added to th FileZilla. I have tried file transfer in non-free machines and it was successful.

Is file transfer to/from free EC2 machines allowed? Can you suggest any solutions?

  • Did you install a FTP server (vsftpd for example)? Did you allow the ports (if using FTP port 20 and 21, and 22 if using SFTP) on your security group?

There's no FTP server running in Linux machines (EC2 or other) by default.

You probably wanted to use SFTP, but mistaken it with FTPS (FTP over TLS/SSL).
