I need to transfer files from my local desktop system (running ubuntu 11) to my aws instance running Ubuntu 11. command line works just fine for me, however, I need a GUI solution.

I have seen this question & the responses already,

Is there any WinSCP equivalent for linux?

However, the difference in accessing an aws instance is that I dont go through the password route, rather I go through an identity file (abcd.pem)

Tried using the file -> connect to server approach in ubuntu, but it doesnt have an option for applying identity files. Any other ideas ? ticks ? tools ??

    Somewhat messy, but try creating a custom section in your .ssh/config file that specifies the identity file to use. This will look like this:

    Host {alias}
HostName {hostname or IP address}
User {username to log in with}
IdentityFile {path to abcd.pem}

    and then try using connect to server with the alias you specified in the config file. See if that works?
