Description

https://docs.source.coop/data-proxy#using-the-aws-cli currently only describes unauthenticated access, and listing of directories.

Add instructions for authenticating and modifying the contents (upload, delete, etc.)

For example:

  1. View Credentials
  2. Switch to the Environment Variables tab, and copy the export statements.
  3. Open a terminal
  4. Paste in the export statements
  5. Run a command that modifies the files in the bucket:
aws s3 rm s3://us-west-2.opendata.source.coop/tyler/test-files/ --recursive

Research direction

Start at the existing docs.source.coop/data-proxy#using-the-aws-cli section, which currently covers unauthenticated access and directory listing. Add the credential setup steps from the Environment Variables tab and examples for authenticated uploads and deletions, including the recursive removal command shown in the issue. Done means the page clearly explains how to modify bucket contents with the AWS CLI.
