i have an instance of ec2.it have some files.i tried to download my file from ec2 instance to my local Ubuntu 13.10.i run this command

scp -i /home/ritesh/.ssh/id_rsa2 [e-mail]:/home/apps/dev/comp-eng/arena-client/build/arena-client-7.1.0.zip

and in output i am getting

usage: scp [-12346BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file] [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program] [[user@]host1:]file1 ... [[user@]host2:]file2

You need to specify your download location. If its the current directory, you can just add a ..

scp -i /home/ritesh/.ssh/id_rsa2 [e-mail]:/home/apps/dev/comp-eng/arena-client/build/arena-client-7.1.0.zip .

cd ~/.ssh
scp -i mykey.pem [e-mail]:/home/path/file ~/Desktop/target

Downloading file to your local machine .....
