Seems like I am not explaining my problem correctly. My Key Pair file is on my machine at work which is behind a corp firewall. As such I can't 'scp' from the ec2 instance to my local machine at work to 'get' the file. So I need a way to 'send' a file from my machine to the ec2 instance. I tried using 'scp' (from my machine at work) to the ec2 machine but it says "Permission denied". Does this make sense?
May be I need to use the command line tools for EC2. I am looking into those right now, but if there's a better/easier way, please let me know. Thanks once again for your help.
