WinSCP
Move files between Windows and Zata with WinSCP.
WinSCP is a free file transfer app for Windows. Its Amazon S3 protocol connects to Zata, so you can drag and drop files between your PC and your buckets.
Before you start
- A bucket — see Create a bucket.
- An access key from the same region as the bucket — see Access keys.
- WinSCP installed — download WinSCP.

Set up WinSCP
Open WinSCP. In the Login window, select New Site and set File protocol to Amazon S3.
Enter the Host name, Port number, Access key ID and Secret access key from the table above.
Select Save to keep the site for next time. Then select Login. Your buckets appear as folders in the right-hand pane.
Test it
Open a bucket in the right-hand pane and drag a small file into it from the left-hand pane. Check that the file appears in the same bucket in the Zata console under Buckets. Then drag it back to your PC to check that downloads work.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Cannot connect | Check that Host name has no https://, Port number is 443, and the host matches the region of your key. |
| Access denied or invalid credentials | Copy the keys again from Access Keys, without extra spaces. |
| A bucket is missing | The bucket is in the other region, or the key has no access to it. Sub-user keys never list buckets. |
For other errors, see Access denied and Endpoint and region.
