S3cmd Configuration

s3cmd uses a configuration file .s3cfg which should be located in the user's home directory. Running s3cmd --configure launches an interactive tool to generate a configuration. Here are a couple of sample .s3cfg files that can be used to configure s3cmd to interact with Riak CS.
