Cyberduck is a desktop cloud storage browser that you can use to manage buckets and objects with AI Object Storage.
For a lighter-weight, browser-based experience, you can also manage objects from the Cloud Console without installing any software. Cyberduck remains a good option if you prefer a desktop application or need features such as bookmarks and Transfers window management.

Prerequisites

Installation and configuration

  1. Open the Cyberduck application.
  2. Install the CoreWeave AI Object Storage connection profile:
    • In Cyberduck’s menu bar, locate Connection Profiles:
      • For macOS: Cyberduck ▸ Settings ▸ Connection Profiles.
      • For Windows: Edit ▸ Preferences ▸ Connection Profiles.
    • In the profiles gallery’s search field, type “CoreWeave”. Search results may take a few minutes to appear. You only need to complete this step once at initial setup.
    • Check the checkbox next to “CoreWeave AI Object Storage”.
    • Close Preferences.
Cyberduck connection profile After you close the Preferences menu, the CoreWeave AI Object Storage connection profile is installed and available when you open a new connection.

Connect to CoreWeave AI Object Storage

When you open a connection from Cyberduck to AI Object Storage, you have the option to save a bookmark for more convenient access, but it’s not required.

Open a connection

  1. Click the Open Connection toolbar button (or File ▸ Open Connection).
  2. Enter your CoreWeave AI Object Storage Access Key and Secret. For macOS, the “Add to Keychain” checkbox is selected by default at the bottom left. Uncheck this option if you prefer to enter your secret each time.

  1. In Cyberduck, open the Bookmark menu and select New Bookmark.
  2. Expand the dropdown menu at the top. Scroll to the bottom of the menu and select CoreWeave AI Object Storage.
  3. Give the connection a nickname.
  4. Optional: In macOS, you can create labels to organize and group your Cyberduck bookmarks.
  5. Enter your CoreWeave AI Object Storage Access Key and Secret.
  6. To bookmark your connection to a specific bucket, set your default path:
    • Expand More Options.
    • The Path field defaults to the root; append your bucket name. For example, /test-bucket.
  7. Close the bookmark dialog window. Cyberduck saves the bookmark and displays it in the browser window.
  8. Double-click your new bookmark. The Cyberduck browser reflects the path if you set one; otherwise it displays the root-level view of all your buckets.

Create a new bucket in CoreWeave AI Object Storage

  1. Open your bookmark and make sure you are connected to AI Object Storage. If you see the bookmark name at the top of the window with your access key ID displayed below it (like CWESGLIQGQWMAUXM@cwobject.com), the connection is successful: Cyberduck root browser view
  2. Make sure no existing buckets are selected.
  3. Expand the Cyberduck browser window to view the Actions menu (gear icon). Expand this menu, and click New Folder. (Alternatively, use File > New Folder from the main menu, or right-click and select New Folder.)
  4. In the Create new folder dialog window, enter a name for your bucket and select the region.
    Bucket names must be globally unique and adhere to the following rules:
    • Length: 3 to 63 characters.
    • Characters: Only lowercase letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and hyphens (-). No dots, uppercase letters, underscores, spaces, or other special characters.
    • Start and end: Must begin and end with a letter or number. Cannot start or end with a hyphen (-).
    • Prohibited patterns: Cannot start with xn--.
    • Reserved: Must not begin with cw-, vip-, or log-stitcher-ch-. Must not be the exact name int. CoreWeave reserves these for internal use.
  5. Click the Create button to create the bucket. If you’re not prompted to select a region, you’re creating a folder inside an existing bucket. Deselect any selected buckets before creating a new bucket. Cyberduck bucket creation
Delay after bucket creationDue to DNS caching, buckets created with Cyberduck may take several minutes to become available for use. If you try to use a bucket immediately after creating it, Cyberduck may show an error: Region does not match. Please contact your web hosting service provider for assistance. Wait a few minutes before adding folders or files to a newly created bucket.

Create a new folder

To create a new folder within a bucket:
  1. Select your bucket in the Cyberduck browser.
  2. Using the main Cyberduck menu, go to File > New Folder. (Alternatively, expand the Actions menu on the Cyberduck browser and click New Folder, or right-click and select New Folder.)
  3. Enter a name for the folder, and click Create: Cyberduck folder creation
If you’re prompted to select a region, you’re creating a new bucket. To create a new folder within an existing bucket, make sure your bucket is selected in the Cyberduck browser before you create the folder.

Upload files to the newly created bucket

  1. Open your file explorer and browse to the files you want to upload.
  2. Select the files and drag them into the Cyberduck window; hover over the newly created bucket until it is highlighted, and then drop in the files.
  3. The Transfers window shows upload progress and status: Cyberduck transfers It displays both the local file path and a path-style URL. The local path link opens the file in your file explorer. AI Object Storage doesn’t support path-style URLs; they return an error.

Delete resources

To delete files within a bucket:
  1. Click into the bucket in the Cyberduck browser.
  2. Select the files you want to delete. Use command-click or right-click and select Delete.
  3. The dialog window lists the items to delete. Click the Delete button to confirm: Cyberduck delete dialog
If you’re in the root view that shows all buckets, be careful not to select entire buckets when deleting multiple items. To delete buckets:
  1. In the main Cyberduck browser, select the bucket(s) you want to delete.
  2. Command-click or right click and select Delete.
  3. The dialog window lists the items you wish to delete. Click the Delete button to confirm.
A bucket can only be deleted once it is completely empty: no current objects, no noncurrent versions, no delete markers, and no incomplete multipart uploads. Cyberduck does not list incomplete multipart uploads, which are the most common reason a delete attempt fails on a bucket that appears empty. For a complete cleanup procedure, see Empty and delete a bucket.
