I have some files on a S3 account that I don’t own and therefore do not have the secret key for. Using a link that was sent to me, I can enter the “Account Number”, user name and password I can login to the s3 console and download the files I need from various buckets.
When trying to configure s3cmd
or the AWS CLI tools however, both require that I enter the AWS access key as well as my secret key, which I don’t have. I find it strange that I can access the files through a web browser without the secret key, yet can’t do the same from the command line.
Is there a way to download files from S3 using a command line, without having access to the secret key? If so, how do I properly configure either s3cmd
or the AWS CLI?
