I am having one Linux Ec2 instance on AWS and my local machine is Windows 10 (64-bit).
I want to download some files or folders from Ec2 to location windows machine.
I am not sure whether it is possible or not? if yes, how we can do that.
thanks.

The two most obvious ways would be SSH or AWS CLI. – JoBu Sep 10 '20 at 07:20

Got the command to Copy from Windows to Linux.
First you need to install putty (putty-64bit-0.74-installer.msi) on your windows machine
The Command is as follow it will copy the folder(e.g. DokerAutomationResult) to the windows machine from AWSLinux machine.
pscp -r ubuntu@xx.xxx.xx.xx:/home/ubuntu/DokerAutomationResult ./[pscp -r ubuntu@(ipAddress):(locationOfLinuxFileLocation /(locationToCopyInWInodws) ]

I tried this it worked for me. Download https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ its an Enhanced terminal for Windows.
You can link your EC2 instance directly via SSH its pretty simple to set up. Just follow the instuctions they've given. Once linked, its super easy to export, import, create files and folders all via mobaxterm.
folders in mobaxterm:

Yes it is possible to download files from ec2 linux instance to local system.
You can use scp -i key user@ip add:/file location which you want to download.
. will download file in your current location on local system
