It is important to note that Arbutus' Object Storage solution does not use Amazon's [https://documentation.help/s3-dg-20060301/VirtualHosting.html S3 Virtual Hosting] (i.e. DNS-based bucket) approach which these clients assume by default. They need to be configured not to use that approach, as described in the pages linked above.

<li>Host name: object-arbutus.cloud.computecanada.ca</li>
<li>Port number: 443</li>

This "Path" setting is important, otherwise WinSCP will not work and you will see hostname resolution errors, like this:
