You’ll need root access to open the hosts file. If you’re working on one of the terminals from above, then you can type sudo nano or to open the file for editing.

Are you setting a default region? The examples may not work without specifying an explicit region argument in every call, or setting the default region to us-east-1.

Still no luck, even with updated curl package. `> s3save (test, bucket = "hadoopdatapipe/dm/dm-test/", object = "dm-test3.Rdata") Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory (url, handle = handle) : Couldn't resolve host name

Do you get that error only with that bucket or in general? Bucket name with /s in them are probably not a good idea, if you can avoid them.

I'm closing this issue as I was able to get connected to s3 & read in bucket names, etc.
