如何从AWS EC2 Ubuntu Linux实例复制文件

Question

I have a linux ubuntu instance and a S3 bucket I did

sudo apt-get install s3cmd

then tried

s3cmd put datafile.xml s3://jthink/datafile.xml

where jthink is my bucket name

but it says

ERROR: /home/ubuntu/.s3cfg: No such file or directory
ERROR: Configuration file not available.
ERROR: Consider using --configure parameter to create one

so i ran

s3 --configure

and it asks for access keys, secret keys ectera I cannot find them, when I look at my S3 bucket in Amazon Web Console there seems to be no such thing

Answer 1

Access Key and Secret Key credentials are required for AWS API access and are used by many tools. Using the web management console you can find and create these credentials using the "Security Credentials" screen under your name on the top right.

But as your root account can not be restricted, it is very recommended that, when using third-party software, you create an IAM user with restricted privileges and/or different credentials. You can learn how to do that here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/Using_SettingUpUser.html
