How to download files from a Linux Virtual Machine?

To download files from a Virtual Machine running Linux, set up an SFTP connection using FileZilla.

Download the private key file with the .PPK extension from the Key Pairs section.

Configure the connection to your Virtual Machine 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 your Virtual Machine;
5. Set Logon Type to Key file;
6. Enter the username — typically the distribution name (e.g., ubuntu);
7. In the Key file field, specify the path to the downloaded private key file;
8. Click Connect;
9. The connection is established — you can now transfer files.
