+
+Sometimes, you only have access to the `aws` CLI, and need to generate presigned URLs to S3 objects.
+
+The `aws s3 presign` command will do this, creating URLs signed as the currently-authenticated user.
+
+```bash
+export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxx AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxx
+aws s3 presign --expires-in 3600 s3://my-bucket/file.txt
+```
+
+!!! note
+    URLs are signed with a region of `us-east-1`. Pass `--region` or set `$AWS_REGION` to override. URLs with the wrong region are not valid.
