I can successfully SSH into my remote sever (amazon web services if that matters, I'm on a mac) using 

```
ssh -i mykey.pem ubuntu@??.??.??.???

```

But when I try to use scp 

```
scp -i test.php mykey.pem ubuntu@??.??.??.???

```

I get

```
scp: /test.php: Permission denied

```

My guess is that there something wrong with my permissions for test.php?  

How would I change that? 

I tried sudo and that did not work. Same error.
