# boto reads, in order, /etc/boto.cfg for site-wide settings, then

# ~/.aws/credentials, then ~/.boto for user-specific settings. Only the

# user-level file is this entry's business — /etc/boto.cfg is system-wide, and

# ~/.aws/credentials belongs to the `aws` entry. On Windows the tutorial says

# to create the file anywhere and point $BOTO_CONFIG at it, so there is no

# fixed Windows spelling to list.

# boto has been superseded by boto3, which reads ~/.aws/config instead; ~/.boto

# is still the file gsutil and older code use.

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/boto. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these is generated from the same rules as this page. None of them splits ca_certificates_file for you — that part is Otty’s own sync, or a template you write by hand.
