How do I change my AWS CLI drive from H to C
To change the default drive for the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) from drive H to drive C on Windows, you can follow these steps:
Open the AWS CLI configuration file: The AWS CLI configuration file is located in your user profile directory. You can open it in a text editor by running the following command in the Command Prompt or PowerShell:
arduinonotepad "%USERPROFILE%\.aws\config"
Update the default region: In the AWS CLI configuration file, look for the
[default]
section. Under this section, you'll find theregion
parameter. Modify theregion
parameter to specify the desired default region for your AWS CLI commands.Save the changes: Save the modifications made to the AWS CLI configuration file and close the text editor.
Open the AWS credentials file: Similarly, open the AWS CLI credentials file by running the following command in the Command Prompt or PowerShell:
arduinonotepad "%USERPROFILE%\.aws\credentials"
Update the access key and secret access key: In the AWS CLI credentials file, find the
[default]
section. Under this section, you'll find theaws_access_key_id
andaws_secret_access_key
parameters. Update these parameters with your AWS access key and secret access key.Save the changes: Save the modifications made to the AWS CLI credentials file and close the text editor.
By following these steps, you can update the AWS CLI configuration and credentials files to use the desired default region and AWS access keys. The drive letter (H or C) does not need to be explicitly specified in the AWS CLI configuration files as they typically reference paths and configurations that are not drive-dependent.
