Was able to follow the instructions in the "Using Amazon EC2" doc, started an instace, connected via remote desktop, am using some of the Firefox add-ins (Elasticfox, S3 Organizer).
Now how do I easily transfer a file (ex: *.qvw) from my local PC to the running instance? Sorry if I am missing something obvious - thanks in advance. I've done some searching and can't find the answer...
