Specifying Credentials for Google Cloud (GCP)
WCSM requires a Service Account Key to access GCP. For more information on obtaining Service Account keys, refer to Google’s documentation.
Specifying Credentials for a Custom S3
API URL—HTTP or HTTPS URL with either an IP address or an FQDN with an S3-compatible API (for example, https://s3.mydomain.com).
Access Key ID—Public identifier for the access key pair.

Entering Target Bucket Credentials
Follow the steps in Entering Source Bucket Credentials. Be sure to set:
Name—Provide a unique name for the target bucket credential (for example, AcmeTargetBucketCredentials).
Credential Type—Click the drop-down to select Wasabi.
You must specify Wasabi as the target. WCSM does not support migrating data out of Wasabi.
Access Key ID—Enter the access key for the target Wasabi bucket.
Secret Access Key—Enter the secret access key for the target Wasabi bucket.
