Connecting with a Third-Party Tool (Cyberduck)

This page is for users.

Connecting to a Bucket with Credentials​

In the bucket list, select the bucket you want to connect to, and click Connect on the right to see the connection details.

Follow the bucket connection guide to connect. This document walks through Cyberduck as an example.

As mentioned above, you can use any third-party tool that supports the S3 interface. We recommend checking in advance that your tool supports S3.

Cyberduck​

Cyberduck is a free FTP client that supports S3. It runs on Windows and macOS.

New connections default to FTP. The dropdown at the top shows the available connection options.
