Problem
When I try to use s3cmd it exits with the following error:
ERROR: S3 error: 403 (SignatureDoesNotMatch)
Attempted Solutions
I have tried regenerating my keys as other similar questions suggested.
Context
I am using s3cmd version 2.0.2.
My s3cmd configuration has the following relevant options:
[default]
access_key = REDACTED
access_token = REDACTED
...
host_base = sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com
host_bucket = %(bucket)s.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com
The s3cmd command I am trying to run is:
s3cmd put foo.txt s3://SPACE/ -c ./s3cmd-cfg
The space I am trying to access is in SFO2.

Hey friend,
I do not consider myself an expert on s3cmd, and I realize that you already have a configuration file, but can you try setting up the configuration specifically by the steps we’ve outlined here?

It may be some very small difference that is made by using those steps.

same error:
I did follow the setting documentation: https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/spaces/reference/s3cmd/
This is resolved by adding to the s3cfg file:
signature_v2 = True
