If not provided as an argument at runtime, the application will look for a file called .s3dropbox in the current user's home directory. This page lists all the possible options that you can use to configure the S3DropBox.

AMAZON_ACCESS_KEY_ID

• Required entry.
• This is the public key provided to you by Amazon when you sign up for an S3 account.

AMAZON_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

• Required entry.
• This is the secret key provided to you by Amazon when you sign up for an S3 account.

USE_SSL

• Optional entry.
• By default, the S3DropBox uses HTTP to connect to Amazon S3. If you want to use HTTPS then simply set this option to either 'true' or 'yes'.

PROXY_HOST and PROXY_PORT

• Optional entries.
• If you need to connect to the internet via a HTTP proxy then you should provide the hostname or IP address of the proxy and its port using these options.

PROXY_USERNAME and PROXY_PASSWORD

• Optional entries.
• If your HTTP proxy requires username and password authentication then you should provide them via these options. The S3DropBox is capable of using BASIC, DIGEST and NTLM authentication mechanisms.

NTLM_HOST and NTLM_DOMAIN

• Optional entries.
• These are not usually required even if you need to use NTLM authentication with a HTTP proxy. If you are unable to authenticate with an NTLM proxy using just the username and password options then you may need to provide the HOST and DOMAIN options.
