# Migrate your data

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for migrating data, using the example of transferring from Amazon S3 to UltiHash using `rclone`. ([You can visit rclone's GitHub respository here.](https://github.com/rclone/rclone))

By following these steps, you can efficiently transfer your data to an UltiHash cluster while maintaining security and performance.

### Configure rclone

First, add the following configuration to your `rclone` installation. Modify the `endpoint` setting to point to your specific UltiHash cluster.

**Note:** Authentication parameters will be read from the environment variables `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`. 

```toml
[UltiHash]
type = s3
provider = Other
env_auth = true
endpoint = https://ultihash.endpoint.example
```

**Alternative:** If you do not want to use environment variables, set `env_auth = false` and add `access_key_id` and `secret_access_key` manually in the rclone config file.

### Uploading Data to UltiHash

#### Step 1: Create a Bucket

Before uploading data, create a bucket in UltiHash:

```bash
rclone mkdir UltiHash:/bucket
```

#### Step 2: Copy Local Data to UltiHash

To transfer your local data to UltiHash, use the following command:

```bash
rclone copy --progress /path/to/local/data UltiHash:/bucket
```

This command will display the transfer progress in real time.
