# s5cmd With Wasabi

[s5cmd](https://github.com/peak/s5cmd) is validated for use with Wasabi. To use s5cmd with Wasabi, please follow the config tips below.

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).

Once s5cmd is installed, run the following commands to insert access keys into a credentials file. First make sure you have the aws directory to hold your credentials file in:

```plaintext
$ mkdir ~/.aws
```

Then create and edit the credentials file to contain your access key pair:

```plaintext
$ vi ~/.aws/credentials
```

```plaintext
[default]
aws_access_key_id = TH15ISN0T4R34LPU8K3Y
aws_secret_access_key = th15i54Ls0n0t4rea1k3ySEcr3TeiTHeRn012340
```

Once configured, enter

```plaintext
$ s5cmd
```

To get a list of available actions you can perform in commands. Some example commands:

**Note:** the Wasabi --endpoint-url MUST be put before the command in order for the command to run.

List your Wasabi buckets out:

```plaintext
$ s5cmd --endpoint-url=https://s3.wasabisys.com ls
```

Make a bucket on the us-east-1 region:

```plaintext
$ s5cmd --endpoint-url=https://s3.wasabisys.com mb s3://myeast1bucket
```

Copy a file up to Wasabi:

```plaintext
$ s5cmd --endpoint-url=https://s3.wasabisys.com cp image.jpg s3://mybucket
```

Copy a file from Wasabi down to working directory:

```plaintext
$ s5cmd --endpoint-url=https://s3.wasabisys.com cp s3://myeast1bucket/image.jpg .
```
