# Uploading a file using an S3 access point
<a name="put-object-ap"></a>

The following `put-object` example command shows how you can use the Amazon CLI to upload a file through an access point. You must include an outfile, which is a file name for the uploaded object.

The example uploads the file {{`my-new-image.jpg`}} through the access point {{`my-ontap-ap`}} and saves the uploaded file as {{`my-new-image.jpg`}}.

```
$ aws s3api put-object --bucket {{my-ontap-ap-hrzrlukc5m36ft7okagglf3gmwluquse1b}}-ext-s3alias --key {{my-new-image.jpg}} --body  {{my-new-image.jpg}}
```

You can also use the REST API to upload an object through an access point. For more information, see [https://docs.amazonaws.cn/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_PutObject.html](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_PutObject.html) in the *Amazon Simple Storage Service API Reference*.
