Add Amazon S3 credentials to /etc
Add your user/pass on the form <user>:<pass> in a file like:
# vim /etc/amazon-s3-passwd
Be sure to make it only readable and writeable by root:
# chmod 600 /etc/amazon-s3-passwd
Mount your S3 bucket
You should now be able to mount an S3 bucket like this:
# s3fs my-s3-bucket-name \
/tmp/my-s3-bucket \
-o passwd_file=/etc/amazon-s3-passwd
