Manage Buckets and Files in BucketFS
This section explains how to access and manage buckets and files in BucketFS.
Accessing BucketFS
You can access files in a BucketFS bucket from outside the cluster by using an HTTPS client and providing the IP address of one of the data nodes, the BucketFS port, the bucket name, and the read/write passwords.
Your network must allow traffic on the BucketFS port.
The read and write passwords can be set when you create the bucket. For more details, see Create New Bucket.
To configure passwords for an existing bucket, use the ConfD job bucket_modify.
If a bucket is not publicly readable, you can only access it using the configured read/write passwords.
The write password allows both read and write access.
Clients and tools
In on-premises installations of Exasol 2025.1 and later, you can upload and manage files in BucketFS using Exasol Admin.
In versions of Exasol that do not have the Exasol Admin UI, we recommend that you use BucketFS Client, which is a Java-based tool that runs on Windows and Linux. To learn more, see BucketFS Client.
You can also upload and manage files using curl. To learn more, see Manage files using curl.
