Redhat with Fuse 2.4.8
S3FS version 1.59
From the AWS online management console i can browse the files on the S3 bucket.
When i log-in (ssh) to my /s3 folder, i
This issue could be due to policy attached to IAM user. make sure IAM user have AdministratorAccess.
I have face same issue & by changing policy to AdministratorAccess issue got fixed.
Well, the solution was simple: to unmount and mount the dir. The error transport endpoint is not connected
was solved by unmounting the s3 folder and then mounting again.
Command to unmount
fusermount -u /s3
Command to mount
/usr/bin/s3fs -o allow_other bucketname /s3
Takes 3 minutes to sync.
I was using old security credential before. Regeneration of security credentials (AccessId, AccessKey) solved the issue.
I had this problem and i found that the bucket can only have lowercase characters. Trying to access a bucket named "BUCKET1" via the https://BUCKET1.s3.amazonaws.com or https://bucket1.s3.amazonaws.com will both fail, but if the bucket is called "bucket1", https://bucket1.s3.amazonaws.com will success.
So it is not enough to lowercase the name for you the s3fs command line, you MUST also create the bucket in lowercase.
I don't recommend to access s3 via quick and dirty fuse drivers. S3 isn't really designed to act as a file system, see this SOF answer for a nice summary
You would probably never dare to mount a Linux mirror website just because it holds files. This is comparable
Let your process write files to your local fs, then sync your s3 bucket with tools like cron and s3cmd
If you insist in using s3fs..
sudo echo "yourawskey:yourawssecret" > /etc/passwd-s3fs
sudo chmod 640 /etc/passwd-s3fs
sudo /usr/bin/s3fs yours3bucket /yourmountpoint -ouse_cache=/tmp
Verify with mount

Just unmount the directory and reboot the server if you already made changes in /etc/fstab which mounts the directory automatically.
To unmount sudo umount /dir
In /etc/fstab these lines should be present. then only it will mount automtically after reboot
