2. Gather required information: 
   • The name of the destination S3 bucket
   • The path to and the name of the file or folder to be created in the destination bucket 
   • The access key and secret key
   • The S3 region

   For instructions on locating this information, refer to AWS user documentation. 

3. In your ~/.aws/ folder, create a file with the filename credentials that specifies S3 credential information, as follows:

   Code Block
   [default] aws_access_key_id = <access key> aws_secret_access_key = <secret access key> region = <s3 region>

4. Consider placing the credentials file in the default location for the dm_download_s3 commandCLU commands, as follows:

   Code Block
   ~/.aws/credentials

5. If you are using Cygwin on Windows, run the following command in Cygwin to change end-of-line delimiters from Windows standard to Unix standard in the credentials file: 

   Code Block
   sed -i "s/\r$//" ~/.aws/credentials
