How do I use S3FS with IDrive® e2?

Follow the command syntax illustration below to use S3FS (Fuse over Amazon) with IDrive® e2.

Set up Access Key

To configure S3FS, you must create S3 Access Keys from the IDrive® e2 account. Replace the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY with your IDrive® e2 Access Key ID and Secret Access Key values in the following syntax.

$ vi /etc/passwd-s3fs AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID:AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Ensure that the file has proper permission

$ chmod 600 /etc/passwd-s3fs

Mount S3 Bucket

Execute the below command to mount S3FS:

$ s3fs mybucket /path/to/mountpoint -o passwd_file=/etc/passwd-s3fs -o url=https://l4g4.ch11.idrivee2-2.com

On successful execution the mount point should work.
