  8. When you have successfully logged into your Windows EC2 instance via the Remote Desktop Session, navigate back to your local workstation/laptop to where you stored the *.pem key file earlier. Right click & select copy on the *.pem file, and then go into your Remote Desktop Session (Windows EC2 instance) and right click on a free space on the Desktop screen and select paste to copy the *.pem key file across.



Note: All remaining tasks for the workshop will be performed through the Remote Desktop Session to the Windows EC2 Instance you just connected to in the previous steps.

Then open the following workshop instructions ( https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-online-data-migration-workshop/blob/master/filegateway/README.md ) in the Chrome browser.
