In an Object Store, an object is the equivalent of a file on a posix file system. The object store gives users a lot of flexibility, but the steps to do simple tasks like sharing and transferring data involve somewhat of a learning cure. We propose a procedure here so this curve is as gentle as possible. Once done, the procedure will be both more secure and more flexible than sharing data on a share HPC platform or on some VM owned by your group.

The important values here are <code>access</code> and <code><code>secret</code>which are the S3 [aws_]access_key_id and [aws_]secret_access_key respectively. AWS stands for Amazon Web Services, they are the creator of the S3 API.

There are a few clients that can be used to access Ceph S3 api. We recomend [[rclone]], it is fast and and flexible.
