# Uploading a file using an S3 access point
<a name="put-object-ap"></a>

The following `put-object` example command shows how you can use the AWS CLI to upload a file through an access point. You must include an outfile, which is a file name for the uploaded object.

The example uploads the file *`my-new-image.jpg`* through the access point *`my-openzfs-ap`* and saves the uploaded file as *`my-new-image.jpg`*.

```
$ aws s3api put-object --bucket my-openzfs-ap-hrzrlukc5m36ft7okagglf3gmwluquse1b-ext-s3alias --key my-new-image.jpg --body  my-new-image.jpg
```

You can also use the REST API to upload an object through an access point.
