Okay how do I use Putty? I installed it to run my bots on a AWS Ubuntu instance but I don't know how to make my bots run on it (I don't even know how to push them in)
@Vrashnak I don't even know what that is
@Santartine PuTTy is more of a SSH client. It aims at giving you access to the server.
FileZilla is a SFTP client. It will connect to the server and will let you upload and download files.
@Vrashnak I'm using AWS to run an ubuntu instance and i'd like puTTY to do what they say in the tutorial (i.e. putting my folders containing my bots' code on AWS and then running it)
@Santartine I never used AWS. Could you please send me the tutorial so I can help you ?
@Santartine Ok for starters what are you trying to do? And what bots and what do you think should putty do?
@bithive Okay, I have two bots (for twitter and discord) I'd like them to run on a Amazon Web Service (because I want them to run even if my computer is off). So I went on Amazon, got myself an ubuntu vm thing on it. Then, they want me to use an SSh client (so I took putty) to run my stuff on it so I'd like to push my local folders with the bots to the ubuntu vm on AWS THEN I'd like to run the bots from there. I don't know if it's clear :c
@Santartine Ok it becomes clearer. You want to transfer a local folder to your vms on aws, as I understood. For this purpose its a good Idea to use winscp ( I asume that you are running windows). WinSCP gives you the ability to connect to the vms and see the file system. You will be able to copy your files to the vms. After you copied the files you need to use putty to start them. Putty helps you to send your commands via a SSH (Secure Shell). In what language did you write your bot
@bithive I'm already using FileZilla, isn't it the same? The bot is in JS so I think I might have to install nodejs on the vms, right?
@Santartine Yeah you can use Filezilla too, it only uses a diffrent way to connect.
So you have you stuff on the vms right? Nextup Putty, here is a small writeup how to use it:

Are you generally comfortable in using the command line or terminals?
@bithive Usually I only use terminals for testing purposes and/or running code but that's it
@Santartine do you have a soft for SFTP, something like FileZilla ?
