How can I re-download the pem file in AWS EC2?

Question

I made a key pair pem file called "test.pem", and I downloaded to my PC.

I made a new instance with this pem file.

Now I am in a different pc, and I don't have this pem file in my local, and my previous pc is in the middle of the sea (shipping).

How can I re-download the "test.pem" file again?

Answer 1

No, you cannot download .pem file again. You can download the .pem file ONLY once and that is when you create a new key-pair.

Answer 2

You can not download such security key files more than once. You can reuse them for multiple instances.

Best you can do is to download it and also store it at S3, of course in a private access bucket.
