[SOLVED] Connecting to aws s3 bucket with a private rsa

Issue

I have a third party vendor that hosts an s3 bucket for me here:

s3://base/my_bucket/

Recently, the vendor put in place requirements that users need to go through a secure connection (upload public RSA to their site and have private RSA local).

My private RSA lives in ~/.ssh/vendor_creds

When I look at aws s3 cp documentation, I do not see anything about pushing with that request the location of my local RSA I want to use.

Further, aws config does not ask for any specific token locations.

From the vendor, I have:

1. Access Key ID
2. Secret Key
3. An s3 url

The command that I have which was working previously was: aws s3 cp s3://base/my_bucket/ /home/my_sername/temp/AWS/ --recursive

Scratching my head a bite and would appreciate any help.

For context, the vendor said I should use cyberduck to download the data (aka: manually every day....)

Solution

For my specific use-case, I needed to do the below. Hopefully helpful to someone else in the future.

sftp -i ~/.ssh/token_rsa -r {USER}.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:{Some Additional}/{info}*

My additional info was specific url parameters provided by the vendor.
