'How to upload folder to EC2 using SCP

The transfer of a file works perfect.

scp -i pemfile.pem testfile [email protected]:

But the transfer of a folder does not work.

scp -r pemfile.pem testfolder [email protected]:

Shows the following message:

[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
lost connection

EDIT: I was missing the -i flag in the command for folder transfer. Solved. Thanks.
