Cyberduck Setup

  1. Once you loaded the 3rd party S3 tool, navigate to the "Open Connection" option at the top left of the page
  2. Click on the dropdown menu, and select the S3 (HTTPS) profile option. If this option isn't there, you may need to browse the "More Options" and find it there
  3. For the server section, you will need to enter either the Hub IP which is running the S3connect service or the Space URL. In this case, we will be using our cloud URL, and you will then want to use port "12323" for HTTPS. Another profile you can use, if its been enabled, is HTTP, which is over port "12324".
  4. Next, you will need to enter the Access Key & Secret you generated earlier & then click on the "Connect" button
  5. Now, you should have established a connection to your S3 endpoint. And you should be able to observe/navigate to the Vaults/Buckets the user has access to.
