Amazon S3 mac #3084

It might be useful to indicate on the Wiki page that your Amazon Access Key goes in the username field and your secret key goes in the password field. When I did this, it worked, but it was not clear at first. I did notice that in the username field it indicated to enter your AWS access key, which was the tipoff, but even still I was reluctant to put my secret access key as the password, since AWS indicates specifically that your secret key should never be sent with requests to AWS. This brings up a question: what does Cyberduck do with the secret key? |
Replying to [comment:2 javamate]:
I have added this information to the wiki. Feel free to clarify it further from your experience. Sometimes as a developer it is difficult to know what is clear and what is not.
From the S3 documentation:
So, we need the Secret Access Kez to calculate the signature. |
See http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/latest/index.html?S3_Authentication.html for further information. |
I can not connect to my S3 account?? What do I have to do to connect I have tried both user name and pass word as well as my key in the Cyber duck open connection. Thank you
