Configure Amazon S3

Steps in AWS Console

1. Log in to the AWS Management Console (console.aws.amazon.com)
2. Go to IAM (Identity and Access Management) — search for it in the search bar at the top
3. Click on IAM users on the left
4. Choose an existing user, or create a new one (Add users) specifically for your filemover tool
   • Give it a clear name, e.g. limagito-s3-service
   • Under “Set permissions” we used AmazonS3FullAccess during our tests, or better yet a custom policy that only grants access to the specific bucket you need (safer, principle of least privilege)
5. Go to the Security credentials tab of that user
6. Scroll to Access keys → click Create access key
7. Choose “Other” as the use case
8. AWS will then show you:
   • Access Key ID → enter this in Key ID in your tool
   • Secret Access Key → enter this in Access Key in your tool ⚠️ Important: the Secret Access Key is only shown once. Copy it immediately, or download the .csv file AWS offers. If you lose it, you’ll need to create a new key.

Some screenshots form our test setup:
