we need a method to tell people how to upload files to aws. dockfiles and tranche selection

this is a scrap rescued from the paper

Step 4. Upload dockfiles and database selection to AWS. On departmental clusters, dockfiles and configuration are stored on special disks which can be accessed by jobs across the cluster. Instead of special disks, AWS uses what are called “S3 Buckets”. These serve the same purpose as disks, and can be accessed across the entire AWS network. We need to create our own S3 Bucket to store dockfiles, database selections, and docking output. Open the S3 console at s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/home In the top right corner, just left of your username, set your region to “us-east-1” Select “create bucket” in the top right. Give your bucket a name and confirm creation of the bucket Back at the S3 console, click on the bucket you just created. In the bucket interface, you can create folders and upload files as you wish. Use this interface to upload your dockfiles and database selection to the bucket. You should also create an empty directory for docking output to be stored in. When you click on a file or directory, it will bring you to a page either describing the details of the file, or listing the contents of the directory. In the top right of this interface, there will be a button to “Copy S3 URI”. Use this to copy the URI of your dockfiles directory, database subset(s), and output directory- these will be used in a future step.
