Nimble Studio File Transfer: Named profile creation using AWS CLI

A few customers had difficulty of creating Named profile from AWS CLI which is required to upload files to Nimble Studio File Transfer buckets. Named profile created from AWS CLI needs to be updated in the Transfer Profiles details of Nimble Studio File Transfer UI. This profile is IAM user profile that has access to S3 bucket to upload objects. Follow below to create:

• Verify if AWS CLI is installed on the machine by running aws --version command on CMD / Terminal
  C:\Users\me>aws --version
aws-cli/2.7.35 Python/3.9.11 Windows/10 exe/AMD64 prompt/off

• If not Installed, ask to follow steps mentioned : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html to Install AWS CLI

• After Installing AWS CLI, run the following commands to create named profile:
  -aws configure --profile <Name of profile to use >

• prompts to enter Access keys and Secrets Access keys which are downloaded as part of IAM user creation

• If there are no keys stored, then Navigate to AWS Console -> IAM user -> Security Credentials -> Generate Access keys. to get a new set of keys

• Going back to aws configure --profile <Name of profile you want to use > once access keys are available - provide them in cmd.

Verification:

• Navigate to .aws directory

• Check for credentials file in. aws directory and view the contents of credentials file to ensure name profile we created above is showing up.

Nimble Studio File Transfer UI:

• As a part of Nimble Studio File Transfer setup, Transfer Profile needs to be created in UI, where there is a field for credentials in which profile name we created above need to be provided.
