Using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) with MEGA S4 lets you combine the power of automated, scriptable workflows with the reliability and performance of MEGA’s S3-compatible object storage. The AWS CLI provides a familiar, flexible toolset for managing buckets and objects at scale, while MEGA S4 offers secure, high-availability storage with straightforward S3 API compatibility. Together, they make it easy to integrate MEGA S4 into existing tooling and infrastructure.
The following steps will guide you through configuring the AWS CLI so you can start managing your MEGA S4 data from the command line.

To test that your AWS CLI is configured correctly
Enter the following command:aws s3 ls --endpoint-url=https://s3.eu-central-1.s4.mega.io
From now on you can run s3, s3api and iam commands.
Note that it is necessary to add the --endpoint-url subcommand after every command, e.g. https://s3eu-central-1.s4.mega.io. For a list of all the endpoints, see the MEGA S4 settings.
Example commands
Create a presigned URL
Use the following template for the command:
aws s3 presign s3://your-bucket-name/path/to/your-object --endpoint-url https://your-endpoint-url/- Replace the placeholders with your actual details:
- Bucket and object: Replace
s3://your-bucket-name/path/to/your-objectwith the path to your file - Example:
s3://test/images/Done.png - Endpoint URL: Use
--endpoint-urlto specify your S4 endpoint - Example:
https://s3.eu-central-1.s4.mega.io/
- Full example:
aws s3 presign s3://test/images/Done.png --endpoint-url https://s3.eu-central-1.s4.mega.io/
- Press Enter to execute the command.
- You should see a presigned URL output, like this:
https://s3.eu-central-1.s4.mega.io/test/images/Done.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAINZUQVEXKQ3E5RVXZCNCE5B4MUWOVIOTAPKMFRH4%2F20241107%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20241107T013010Z&X-Amz-Expires=3600&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=d5a9bef624017c64b57a8a91964249f2e13cd7296bffb7dfb33eba77c7b10c75
Set the time limit for your presigned URL
aws s3 presign s3://test/done.png --endpoint-url https://s3.eu-central-1.s4.mega.io/ --expires-in 604800Examples are below – note the default is one hour.
--expires-in 604800 The presigned URL will expire in 7 days (the max time)
--expires-in 3600 The presigned URL will expire in 1 hour (the default)
To enable logs
When executing a command add the --debug parameter.
