Security Token Service support for AWS S3

Hi,

WinSCP is a very powerful software, but it's also very easy to users even for normal end users who do not have technology background. A suggestion here, can we have Security Token Service support for AWS S3 like Cyberduck?

I have sent you an email with some questions.

This has been implemented. I'm sending you a development version of WinSCP for testing.

can you link to the how to i have been searching

@fscalzo Link what? I do not understand.

Make sure you have the latest version of WinSCP.

With Amazon SSO you get temporary keys instead of having to create an IAM user for S3 users but they only work with a session token as well.

One work around would be to have a place to put the session token and pass it or to pull from the .AWS/Credentials file based on a profile that is pre saved.

In my previous post, I've posted a link that shows where to put the Security token (session token). Did you check it?

Additionally, the next version of WinSCP will support reading AWS configuration:
