 ## Uploading and downlading from Garage
 
-We recommend the use of MinIO Client to interact with Garage files (`mc`).
-Instructions to install it and use it are provided on the
-[MinIO website](https://docs.min.io/docs/minio-client-quickstart-guide.html).
-Before reading the following, you need a working `mc` command on your path.
+To download and upload files on garage, we can use a third-party tool named `awscli`.
 
-Note that on certain Linux distributions such as Arch Linux, the Minio client binary
-is called `mcli` instead of `mc` (to avoid name clashes with the Midnight Commander).
 
-### Configure `mc`
+### Install and configure `awscli`
 
-You need your access key and secret key created above.
-We will assume you are invoking `mc` on the same machine as the Garage server,
-your S3 API endpoint is therefore `http://127.0.0.1:3900`.
-For this whole configuration, you must set an alias name: we chose `my-garage`, that you will used for all commands.
-
-Adapt the following command accordingly and run it:
+If you have python on your system, you can install it with:
 
 ```bash
-mc alias set \
-  my-garage \
-  http://127.0.0.1:3900 \
-  <access key> \
-  <secret key> \
-  --api S3v4
+python -m pip install --user awscli
 ```
 
-### Use `mc`
-
-You can not list buckets from `mc` currently.
-
-But the following commands and many more should work:
+Now that `awscli` is installed, you must configure it to talk to your Garage instance,
+with your key. There are multiple ways to do that, the simplest one is to create a file
+named `~/.awsrc` with this content:
 
 ```bash
-mc cp image.png my-garage/nextcloud-bucket
-mc cp my-garage/nextcloud-bucket/image.png .
-mc ls my-garage/nextcloud-bucket
-mc mirror localdir/ my-garage/another-bucket
+export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxxx      # put your Key ID here
+export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxxx  # put your Secret key here
+export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION='garage'
+export AWS_ENDPOINT='http://localhost:3900'
+
+function aws { command aws --endpoint-url $AWS_ENDPOINT $@ ; }
+aws --version
 ```
 
+Now, each time you want to use `awscli` on this target, run:
+
+```bash
+source ~/.awsrc
+```
+
+*You can create multiple files with different names if you 
+have multiple Garage clusters or different keys.
+Switching from one cluster to another is as simple as
+sourcing the right file.*
+
+### Example usage of `awscli`
+
+```bash
+# list buckets
+aws s3 ls
+
+# list objects of a bucket
+aws s3 ls s3://my_files
+
+# copy from your filesystem to garage
+aws s3 cp /proc/cpuinfo s3://my_files/cpuinfo.txt
+
+# copy from garage to your filesystem
+aws s3 cp s3/my_files/cpuinfo.txt /tmp/cpuinfo.txt
+```
+
+Note that you can use `awscli` for more advanced operations like
+creating a bucket, pre-signing a request or managing your website.
+[Read the full documentation to know more](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/s3/index.html).
+
+Some features are however not implemented like ACL or policy.
+Check [our s3 compatibility list](@/documentation/reference-manual/s3-compatibility/).
