Question

I’m trying to get started with EC2 running a django site on a micro-linux installation (ie trying to take advantage of the AWS free tier to work out my horrible newbie mistakes). I’ve installed the bitnami AMI and it seems to work. Now I’m wondering what is the easiest way to get my django app files from my computer to EBS for my EC2 instance to access? I read some stuff about making a repository and accessing it with an SCM from within the instance, but that looks pretty complicated for what I think should be a simple thing. Is there some way I could transfer all the data (in the correct folder structure) into my S3 bucket and from there into the EBS volume?
Thanks a lot,
Alex

Thanks Spike. In the end I used WinSCP and it was very simple.
