Setting AWS S3 credentials in C# app

I want to develop a simple app that could get AWS keys from command line and access AWS S3 service. All C# samples and AWS documentation on .Net that I have seen uses either SDK store, credential files or environment variables. Is there a way to just create AmazonS3Client and specify keys for it without creating external files or setting environment variables?

This is C# .net core 2.0. Eventually this app would run on linux and windows so platform-neutral approach would be preferable.

You can use the AWSAccessKey + AWSSecretKey to authenticate.

AmazonS3Client offers a constructor accepting an object of type AWSCredentials. 

AmazonS3Client(AWSCredentials)

Just pass an instance of type BasicAWSCredentials specifying the two keys. You could get them from the arguments if needed

Have fun,
