How to download files from a Linux Virtual Machine?

Download and install the FileZilla program.

Download the private key PPK file from the Key Pairs section. The file has the format keyname-username.pem.ppk.

Set up a server connection in FileZilla:

  1. Click the File menu and select Site Manager;
  2. In the Site Manager window, click New Site;
  3. On the General tab, set the protocol to SFTP — SSH File Transfer Protocol.  
  4. In the Host field, enter the IP address of the Virtual Machine;
  5. For Logon Type, select Key file;
  6. Enter the username — typically the distribution name (e.g., ubuntu); 
  7. In the Key file field, specify the path to your key file: keyname-username.pem.ppk;
  8. Click Connect.

You can now download the required files.
