How to use AWS SDK with Minio?
Please follow the documentation here - Using aws-sdk-go with Minio server
How to use s3cmd with Minio?
Even with Signature version '4' enabled, 's3cmd' falls back to Signature version '2' for listing your buckets. Since minio server is only Signature version '4' listing your buckets with Signature version '2' fails. We have no immediate plans on supporting Signature version '2'. Please follow https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/987 to know more on this issue.
s3cmd is currently not supported.
