how does this tie together?

i can see that if i use windows cmd, pscp.exe is recognized but a key is required
when i use putty, the key is present but pscp.exe is not recognized

does that make sense?

since you are having problems with a windows executable, you will probably get better answeres from a windows forum.

the basic process is to use an ssh client to log in to a remote terminal and use an scp client to copy files across a network.

This might help explain this a bit.

but this still doesnt explain how to use the pem key from windows
or locate the .exe file from linux

How is your ssh server set up?
Is your ssh server configured to only use public/private keys?
Can you log into your linux server from windows using PuTTy?

What exe file are you taling about?

As suggested it might be easier if you use a windows GUI sftp application.

^ i had to read it a few times; i have no idea why they call a linux server an instance ?

Basically because it's all in the cloud; could easily be a VM in any given case. It's just a convention between a 'server' ie HW and an 'instance' ie actual Linux env.

^ good point. that makes sense now that i read most of the article. seems to be about amazons web hosting company for some reason.
