Object Storage - Use Object Storage with WinSCP

WinSCP is a free, open-source SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, S3¹, and SCP client and file manager for Windows.

This guide explains how to configure WinSCP to manage your buckets and objects.

Requirements

• A bucket
• A user with the required access rights on the bucket
• Your Object Storage credentials (access_key and secret_access_key)

See our Getting started with Object Storage guide.

Start WinSCP. The login dialog will appear. Fill in the fields as follows:

1. Make sure the New Site node is selected.

2. On the New Site node, select Amazon S3 protocol.

3. Enter your endpoint (without https://) corresponding to your storage class, and set the Port number field to 443.
