I am trying to login to AWS CLI, I first configured with this process: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/tutorial-ec2-ubuntu.html.

Then I ran export AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE=ken, but, I then put my account number instead and now I get the and error message even if I just type aws help.

The message is: 

botocore.exceptions.ProfileNotFound: The config profile (148244104581) could not be found

~/.aws/credentials:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = ************
LAMWPQ aws_secret_access_key = ***********GFX

When you give a profile name or change the default profile name you're effectively saying 'i want to use a named profile in my crednetials file'.

so what you've done here is said 'use the profile called 'ken' as my default, but your default profile is called 'default' not 'ken'.

Typically this ability is used to have profiles called 'dev' or 'prod' etc, and i'd advise making dev the 'default' as opposed to prod to avoid unexpected mishaps.

  • I appreicate it, You were right, thank you, Can I ask you, how can I upload documents into my buckets, so far reading the CLI S3 Reference Guide I have just been able to run aws s3 ls "and my bucket name" but I can't do cd, what would you recommend? – Ken Sandoval Jul 15 '16 at 01:38
  • i recommend using a tool called 's3cmd' it becomes as easy as 's3cmd put my_file_name s3://my_bucketname/bucket/path. It'll also automatically reuse the same credentials file you just made. Installed with 'pip install s3cmd' – Sirex Jul 15 '16 at 02:06
