Overview

You can use this document to learn how to use Cyberduck to access object storage.

To use this document, you must have the following information available:

Required information	Description
The access key and secret key for object storage	If you did not generate keys for your object storage or if you cannot remember your keys, you can always generate new keys that will replace your existing keys. To learn how to generate keys, see Create and Manage Object Storage Buckets and review the information under Access and manage your bucket.
The bucket's region	Each region has a separate endpoint URL. If you do not know your bucket's region, you can obtain that information in the StackPath Control Portal. In the portal, in the left-side navigation menu, click Object Storage. Locate the desired bucket, and then note the information under Region.

Each region has a separate endpoint URL. Based on your region, review the list of endpoint URLs:

Open Cyberduck.
In the top, left corner, click Open Connection.
In the drop-down menu, select Amazon S3.
In Server, enter the endpoint URL that includes your bucket's region.
Enter your access key and secret access key.
Click Connect.
- You are now connected to the StackPath Storage Bucket with Cyberduck.

In some cases, by default files are set to public. StackPath recommends that you set your files to private.

In Cyberduck, click Preferences, then click Transfers, and then click Permissions.
Uncheck Group and Others to make your files private by default.
