Using e24files with CyberDuck, S3 Browser, and WinSCP
Using e24files via the console is preferred for administrators and those who want to create automation scripts. If we want to use e24files as, for example, backup or remote disk and we care about a graphical user interface, we propose to familiarize ourselves with the two applications below. To use cloud files with the following applications, it is necessary to have compatibility of the provider’s service with the S3 interface. As e24files has very high compatibility with S3, there is no major problem connecting to our service.
Connection
Before connecting to e24files with one of the applications below, you need to log in to the client panel, go to the Cloud files section, and then click the Show secret key button.
This will display the API secret key, which we will need to log in.
For our example, we will be using this data:
API key: 00000000-aaaa-12345678-000011112222
API secret key: hdga2CsBR6tJ278sILaUOZS6C1Cc7r4hdctrfvgyDTl
The URL for e24files is always the same: https://e24files.com
