Before you can use the OCI Storage Cloud Service source type, you must import a PEM key to connect to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. See Importing a Key in Using Oracle Managed File Transfer.

Element	Description
Endpoint URL	Specifies the REST endpoint URL of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage.
Region	Specifies the identifier of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure region.
Namespace	Specifies the Object Storage namespace of the bucket. This is a logical entity that serves as a top-level container for all buckets and objects, allowing for control of bucket naming within your tenancy. The namespace is a unique and uneditable system-generated string assigned during account creation and applies to all regions.
Bucket Name	Specifies the name of the bucket. A bucket is a logical container for storing objects. Users or systems create buckets as needed within a region. A bucket is associated with a single compartment that has policies that determine what actions a user can perform on a bucket and on all the objects in the bucket.

This is the primary building block used to organize your cloud resources. When your tenancy is provisioned, a root compartment is created for you. You can then create compartments under your root compartment to organize your resources. An Object Storage bucket can only exist in one compartment.
Private Key	Specifies the private key, which is generated using an SSH key pair.
Passphrase	Specifies the passphrase used to encrypt the private key.
Confirm Passphrase	Confirms the passphrase used to encrypt the private key.
