Hi, I setup an Ubuntu instance on AWS EC2 and install LAMP webserver. I tried to copy a file test.php to /var/www/html folder, but it said Permission denied<br />
<br />
I used the following command in Terminal on my Mac:<br />
<br />
scp -i mypem.pem test.php ubuntu@ec2-54-206-105-243.<wbr />ap-southea<wbr />st 2.compute.amazonaws.com:/v<wbr />ar/www/htm<wbr />l<br />
<br />
My questions are:<br />
1. Do I need to change the /var/www/html folder permission before I copy files to it? <br />
2. Besides the SSH, can I use a GUI tool to do the files transferring? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
<br />
Please advise. thanks

The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
