PuTTY secure copy client | -bash: pscp: command not found |

I am trying to learn the Amazon's AWS - EC2 service and was following its tutorial (at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EC2_GetStarted.html)

I have successfully launched an instance and am on Step:2, Connect to your instance. I got PuTTY and followed the tutorial for connection using PuTTY (at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/putty.html)

Here I am unable to use the command - pscp -i C:\path\my-key-pair.ppk C:\path\Sample_file.txt ec2-user@public_dns:/home/ec2-user/Sample_file.txt as it shows the following error : ' -bash: pscp: command not found '

My main aim is to use an online free temporary server to host a RESTful API that I have made and tested on localhost in python3.

I am a beginner in this field and would like some help.

Thank you.

pscp is Windows program.

You are not supposed to use it in PuTTY terminal (on the virtual machine shell), but on your local Windows machine.
