cannot connect to AWS from pc

stu7 · 05-25-2015, 06:22 PM

I have an amazon S3 account, and normally use a commandline
interface to access this (awscli). Having used the same
for several years, suddenly, two days ago, I can no longer
access S3 from my computer (via commandline), although the
S3 account is active... I can log in online / add files /
etcetera.

So - with everything (else) functioning, there appears to be
some blockage specifically between my pc and amazon... this
connection always fails, while connection to any other service
is good.

How can I trace this third party blockage ? Its not me, and
not amazon doing it.

thanks for looking

I inquired of AWS and here... tried the interface one more
time... just now... and, thankfully, it has now mysteriously
begun working again.
Sorry if anyone went looking for answers... this was evidently
something broken, and I could not have described or fixed it
better than I did.

When our stuff starts getting wonky, I immediately check the output of ec2status.sh
