Linux – copy files from public windows server ec2 instance to private linux ec2 instance

Actually we can take benefit from the disk sharing feature of mstsc. Here is how it works:

1. Go to find the RDP file amazon asked you to downloaded onto your local PC. right-click --> Edit

2. Go to "Local Resources" tab --> "Local devices and resources" --> "More" button

3. Expand the "Drives" and check the disks you want to share when you TS to the remote box.

4. after connect, you will see the new drives in My Computer already mounted for you.

If you want to keep things organized and get better results, create a folder named "c:\publish" (or something else), and then run "SUBST s: c:\publish" in dos prompt. Now you will have a s letter that points to your folder. This way you can map only the folder with files to transfer to the server (the s) with no need to sync the entire c driver.

For me, copy speed is 200-300kB/Second. Enjoy!

You do not want to share the same key with another machine. No, you don't, really.

Each private key should be restricted to one user on one machine only. Do not copy private keys around, since by doing this you are exposing your key to an increased risk of it being stolen or inadvertently copied via untrusted channels, or left on untrusted storage devices.

What you should do is generate a new key pair on the new machine, then transmit your second public key to github. Any decent SSH-based service that allows the use of PKI also allows you to store multiple public keys, github is no exception. Give suggestive names to each key (for SSH keys, they are in the form of "username@hostname") so that you know the device associated to each public key.

This has the benefits of keeping your private keys safe, and you can revoke keys individually when only one of them is compromised.
