I have an instance in AWS with private IP (no public dns and no public ip) and I would like to connect to this instance through winscp to download few logs to my local PC. When I try to connect to this private instance through winscp I get below error, obviously because the server is in private.

enter image description here

Usually I ssh to bastion server which is in public subnet and then from there with private ssh key I ssh to the private instance. I could able to winscp to this bastion server which is in public but I would require to winscp to the private instance. I tried winscp connection tunnel hoping it might help somehow but I got "authentication key" error. Is there any way to winscp to private instance in AWS.

I found this tutorial http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/ssh-tunnel.html to setup an SSH tunnel to be followed on the publicly accessible machine to link to the private one.

More opinions here How to setup bastion host or Jumpbox in AWS?.
