How can I view or download the file system of a WordPress site hosted with AWS?

    If this isn’t posted to the right site, I am sorry.

    I am trying to revamp a website for a non-profit and have not used AWS prior. The original website I’m trying to copy/download is hosted on AWS, and I was planning on moving it to hosting I already control elsewhere. I thought I would be able to find a way to FTP into AWS’ web hosting and have the whole WordPress file system downloaded in a few minutes (I really just need the pictures and content; the originals are no longer available as far as I can tell, and I don’t need to replicate the sight plugin-for-plugin).

    Unfortunately, AWS Console is clogged with dozens of uninformative product names and no clear path even to see an in-browser listing of the hosted files.

    Can anyone tell me how to FTP into AWS or point me to where these tool are hiding in AWS console?

    Many thanks.

    First of all, I should clear one thing that WordPress.com forums is available for that Sites which is hosted on WordPress.com, If you are using free source Software WordPress then You should ask your queries at WordPress.org,

    But accroding to your question, Alternatives could include using scp/sftp as this allows file access and is based on the ssh protocol used on most vm’s, or to install an FTP server (you may need to adjust the AWS firewall settings to allow this), or to add some kind if file explorer/cms web interface.
