Cannot connect to S3 bucket via Transmit, only via AWS CLI

I have this S3 bucket that I can connect to through AWS CLI. First I go to Terminal and set it up:

aws configure
AWS Access Key ID [****************]: ACCESS_KEY
AWS Secret Access Key [****************]: SECRET_KEY
Default region name [None]:
Default output format [None]:

After that I can do the regular operations on it from Terminal. To list the folders at the root of the S3 bucket, I just go to Terminal and write:

aws s3 ls s3://name-of-my-bucket

The other AWS CLI operations also work just fine. But when I try to set this S3 bucket up in Transmit, it doesn't seem to work. In Transmit you can set up an S3 bucket, so I choose that preset for starters, then add my Access Key ID and my Secret Key. For Address I've tried everything: s3.amazonaws.com, name-of-my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com, name-of-my-bucket, etc. When I try to use the Address s3://name-of-my-bucket it changes to the SFTP preset, which obviously won't work.

Since I know the Access Key ID and Secret Key are correct, I'm assuming that my mistake must be in the Address field, but I cannot figure it out. Can you help?

I've had other S3 buckets and never had this problem, they worked just fine and were easy to set up.

Thanks

  • In Quick Connect, select a Protocol of Amazon S3
  • Set Credentials. In the Remote Path, put name-of-my-bucket

The current Transmit documentation mentions that it needs to list the bucket to determine the bucket region for users.

https://help.panic.com/general/s3/

So add "s3:ListBucket" as an action to the IAM policy, then specify the Remote Path as "/" followed by your S3 bucket name when you log in.

When you refer to Transmit, I presume you are referring to the Transmit file transfer app for MacOS.

To reproduce your situation, I did the following:

  • Installed Transmit
  • In Quick Connect I selected a Protocol of Amazon S3
  • Clicked Connect

Transmit login

  • It prompted me for an Access Key and Secret Key, which I entered
  • It then presented me with a list of my Amazon S3 buckets
  • I was then able to double-click the name of a bucket and the contents was displayed
