Manage AWS S3 Resource Connections

Select Manage > Resources > Manage Online Connections.

You can create and manage connections to Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 buckets. When you create a connection to an AWS S3 bucket, it appears on the Resources page.

Note: AWS S3 buckets cannot be accessed from workspaces run from FME Server, unless that access is through an S3-related transformer, such as S3Uploader, S3Downloader, S3Deleter, or S3ObjectLister. For more information, see the FME Workbench Transformers help.
