 We assume that you want to serve a single S3 bucket and you want to assign different "virtual folders" of this bucket to different SFTPGo virtual users. In this case is very convenient to configure a credential file so SFTPGo will automatically use it and you don't need to specify the same AWS credentials for each user.
