Can't transfer files to/from Amazon EC2 free machine with FTPS

1

1

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? – Algeriassic – 2019-05-03T18:25:56.387

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).
