| title | WinSCP - S3 usage |
|---|
WinSCP is a popular SFTP and FTP client for Microsoft Windows. It allows you to transfer files between your local computer and remote servers using FTP, FTPS, SCP, SFTP, WebDAV, or S3 file transfer protocols.
Please use the package directly from the WinSCP website for installation. The installation process is straightforward and does not require any special settings.
Run the tool.
To connect to storage, go to the Tabs option in the main menu and select New Tab (or Remote Tab, Ctrl+N).
In the drop-down menu File protocol select Amazon S3.
Next, enter the Host name as s3.clX.du.cesnet.cz, replacing X with the cluster number associated with your S3 account. Port 443 will be automatically pre-filled. Copy the access_key into the Access key ID field and the secret_key into the Secret access key field - both of these keys were provided to you in an encrypted format by the administrators or self-generated in the Gatekeeper web interface.
Select Advanced settings.
Leave the Default region field blank! Select URL Style Path and click OK. Then, click Save to name and save your configuration. Then, click Login to connect to the storage.
Once the storage is connected, you will see a list of your buckets on the right side (you can also create new buckets).
