AWS CLI Examples

You can configure the AWS CLI to connect to Files.com using a custom endpoint:

aws configure

When prompted, enter your Files.com Access Key ID for AWS Access Key ID, your Files.com Secret Access Key for AWS Secret Access Key, and us-east-1 for Region.

Then run:

# path-style:
aws s3 ls --endpoint-url https://s3-mysite.files.com

# path-style and virtual-hosted-style:
aws s3 ls --endpoint-url https://s3.files.com

The same endpoint settings work with any S3-compatible tool or library.
