# Handle files
We recommend the use of MinIO Client to interact with Garage files (`mc`).
Instructions to install it and use it are provided on the [MinIO website](https://docs.min.io/docs/minio-client-quickstart-guide.html).
Before reading the following, you need a working `mc` command on your path.
## Configure `mc`
You need your access key and secret key created in the [previous section](bucket.md).
You also need to set the endpoint: it must match the IP address of one of the node of the cluster and the API port (3900 by default).
For this whole configuration, you must set an alias name: we chose `my-garage`, that you will used for all commands.
Adapt the following command accordingly and run it:
```bash
mc alias set \
my-garage \
http://172.20.0.101:3900 \
<access key> \
<secret key> \
--api S3v4
```
You must also add an environment variable to your configuration to inform MinIO of our region (`garage` by default).
The best way is to add the following snippet to your `$HOME/.bash_profile` or `$HOME/.bashrc` file:
```bash
export MC_REGION=garage
```
## Use `mc`
You can not list buckets from `mc` currently.
But the following commands and many more should work:
```bash
mc cp image.png my-garage/nextcloud-bucket
mc cp my-garage/nextcloud-bucket/image.png .
mc ls my-garage/nextcloud-bucket
mc mirror localdir/ my-garage/another-bucket
```
