I've never used Amazon EC2 - I am thinking to test a few instances for running intensive computation processes I have a requirement for rather than buying real hardware.

I am given to understand the thing is quite easy to setup - but I have no clue of how it actually works, in terms of transferring data to my ec2 instances.

So the question is how can I upload stuff to my instance?

Any help appreciated!

I resolved by sharing my drives when establishing remote connection. Smooth!

You can upload your assets on to an S3 bucket and then have your instances download appropriate items from there.

I found that dropbox is the quickest and easiest way to do this, as long as you don't have any concerns about your data being on the dropbox servers.
