How to Setup s3cmd in Windows

1. Install s3cmd

Step 1: Check Python Installation

Ensure Python is installed by running:

python --version

If Python is not installed, download and install it from Python Official Website.

Step 2: Upgrade pip

Run the following command to upgrade pip:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Step 3: Install s3cmd

Run the following command to install s3cmd:

pip install s3cmd

Step 4: Ensure s3cmd is Executable

By default, Windows may recognize s3cmd as a file without an extension instead of a Python script. Navigate to the following path:

C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\PythonXX\Scripts\
  • If s3cmd is present without a .py extension, rename it to s3cmd.py.
  • Add this location to your system environment variables (Path).

Step 5: Verify Installation

Run:

s3cmd --version

If s3cmd does not execute correctly, open the s3cmd file and ensure the first two lines are:

#!C:\Python310\python.exe
#coding: utf-8 -

If necessary, run s3cmd using:

python C:\Python310\Scripts\s3cmd.py --version

Alternatively, create a s3cmd.bat file in the same directory as s3cmd.py with the following content:

@echo off
python C:\Python310\Scripts\s3cmd %*

Then, retry running:

s3cmd --version

2. Configure s3cmd

Run:

s3cmd --configure

You will be prompted to enter the following details:

Access Key: YOUR_ACCESS_KEY
Secret Key: YOUR_SECRET_KEY
Default Region: US
S3 Endpoint: HOST_NAME //Use the Hostname from the Details page.
DNS-style bucket+hostname: HOST_NAME //Use the Hostname from the Details page.
Encryption password: (press Enter to pass)
Path to GPG program: (press Enter to pass)
Use HTTPS protocol: No
HTTP Proxy server name: (press Enter to pass)

Test access with supplied credentials:

Test access with supplied credentials? [Y/n]: Y

If the connection is successful, you will see:

Please wait, attempting to list all buckets...
Success. Your access key and secret key worked fine :-)

Save settings:

Save settings? [y/N]: y

Your configuration will be saved at:

C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\s3cmd.ini
