For FTP URL

Adding ?passive=yes to the FTP URL forces downloader/uploader to use Passive Mode for FTP transfer. Many FTP services require the use of passive FTP due to firewalling.

Also, you can specify ?passive=no (the default) explicitly.

👍

For Amazon S3

  • Do not forget to URL encode your AWS_SECRET, in particular, replacing '/' with '%2F'. This is necessary for legacy compatibility with the platform, and should be performed in addition to the urlencode of the entire XML or JSON request when POSTing to the API endpoint.

  • If you don't specify AWS key/secret, the bucket must have READ and WRITE permissions for:

    • AWS user: 1a85ad8fea02b4d948b962948f69972a72da6bed800a7e9ca7d0b43dc61d5869
    • Account ID: "AWS": "456240961796"
    • ARN ID: arn:aws:iam::456240961796:root
  • See Amazon S3 ACL for more details.

  • See Percent-encoding for more details on URLencoding.

  • Using specific S3 endpoints:
    To use a specific S3 endpoint/region, replace ‘s3.amazonaws.com‘ in your S3 URL with one of the following:

    • us-east-1s3-external-1.amazonaws.com
    • us-east-2s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com
    • us-west-2s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com
    • us-west-1s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com
    • ca-central-1s3-ca-central-1.amazonaws.com
    • eu-west-1s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com
    • eu-west-2s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com
    • eu-west-3s3-eu-west-3.amazonaws.com
    • eu-central-1s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com
    • ap-southeast-1s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com
    • ap-southeast-2s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com
    • ap-northeast-1s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com
    • ap-northeast-2s3-ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com
    • ap-south-1s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com
    • sa-east-1s3-sa-east-1.amazonaws.com

For Aspera Transfers

To use private key for Aspera authentication you can use SetHostKey in your API request to authenticate with an SSH key.

📘

For Assume Role

Please use the following ARN arn:aws:iam::456240961796:root as a Principal in your Assume Role policy settings.
JSON policy: { "Sid": "__console_pub_0", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::456240961796:root" }, "Action": "sts:AssumeRole" }

🚧

For Assume Role

You can use ExternalID when accessing your S3 using AssumeRole.
To do that, please visit Account page in the UI, in the section "AWS Assume Role External ID" generate new External ID or copy existing one, and then set up your AssumeRole policy so that it requires ExternalID.
