    2. Add a new policy with the Read and Write permission.

  5. Check the results in your web browser, for example, https://app-s3.example.com/minio/new-test-bucket. You can access uploaded files from Business Process tasks.

Upload files to Linux server​

To upload files to the Linux server, follow the steps below:

  1. Log in to the Master Server.

  2. Go to INSTALL_DIR/minio/data and create a directory.

    tip

    Do not use the . and _ symbols in the directory name.

    mkdir -p INSTALL_DIR/minio/data/new-test-bucket

  3. Copy the needed files to the created directory.

    cp -a new_file.txt INSTALL_DIR/minio/data/new-test-bucket

  4. Set a public policy for the bucket and its files.

    s3 is an alias for MinIO. You can find it at INSTALL_DIR/minio_client_conf/config.json:
    "s3": {
    "url": "http://localhost:9000",
    "accessKey": "access_key",
    "secretKey": "secret_key",
    "api": "s3v4",
    "lookup": "auto"
    }
    INSTALL_DIR/tools/mc -C INSTALL_DIR/minio_client_conf/ policy --recursive public s3/new-test-bucket

    Example:

    /opt/workfusion/tools/mc -C /opt/workfusion/minio_client_conf/ policy --recursive public s3/new-test-bucket
    Access permission for `s3/new-test-bucket` is set to `public`

  5. Check the results in your web browser, for example, https://app-s3.example.com/minio/new-test-bucket. You can access uploaded files from Business Process tasks.
