# S3FS With Wasabi

[S3FS](https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/wiki/Fuse-Over-Amazon) (fuse) certified for use with Wasabi. To use S3FS with Wasabi, please follow the command syntax example below. This [tutorial](https://www.interserver.net/tips/kb/mount-s3-bucket-centos-ubuntu-using-s3fs/) may also be helpful.

**Setup Access Key**

Both access key and secret key of your s3 AWS account is required for configuring S3FS.

Replace the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY with your actual Wasabi access key and secret key values.

$ vi /etc/passwd-s3fs AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID:AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Make sure that the file has proper permission

```powershell
$ chmod 600 /etc/passwd-s3fs 
```

**Mount S3 Bucket**

You can run the below command to mount s3fs

```powershell
$ s3fs mybucket /path/to/mountpoint -o passwd_file=/etc/passwd-s3fs -o url=https://s3.wasabisys.com 
```

After that the mount point should work

```powershell
$ cd /tmp/wasabi/ 
$ ls 
BEOST_SInf BEOST_SInf-Bak BEOST_SMap keys.rtf 
$ cp example.deb /tmp/wasabi/ 
$ ls 
BEOST_SInf BEOST_SInf-Bak BEOST_SMap 
example.deb keys.rtf
```

Note that this example discusses the use of Wasabi's us-east-1 storage region. To use other Wasabi storage regions, please use the appropriate Wasabi service URL as described in this [article](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/what-are-the-service-urls-for-wasabis-different-storage-regions).
