3 Workflows for Typical Use Cases
For certain use cases, you must run the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic File Transfer Manager command-line interface (FTM CLI) commands in a specific sequence. Some of these use cases are described here. Use this information as a guide to learn how to use the FTM CLI tool.

Encrypting an Object on the Client-Side
To enable client-side encryption for a file that you want to upload to the cloud service, you must use an encryption key.
| Task | Procedure / CLI Command |
|---|---|
| 1. Generate an RSA master key for encryption
OR Identify an existing RSA master key for encryption |

2. Upload the file by providing the master key file path along with the upload command. The FTM CLI encrypts the file using the master key before uploading it to the cloud service.

| 3. Manage the master key used for client-side encryption. You must use the same master key for decryption while downloading the object. |
Downloading a Client-Side Encrypted Object
To decrypt an encrypted object when you download it from the cloud service, specify the same master key that you’d used for encrypting the file.
| Task | Procedure / CLI Command |
|---|---|
| 1. Identify the RSA master key that you’d used for client-side file encryption. | |
| 2. Download the object by providing the RSA master key file path. The FTM CLI uses the master key to decrypt the object during the download.

Rotating the Client-Side Encryption Master Key
You can change the master key that you use for client-side file encryption by rotating the key.
| Task | Procedure / CLI Command |
|---|---|
| 1. Generate a new RSA master key to replace the current RSA master key that you’d used for client-side file encryption.
OR Identify an existing RSA master key to replace the current RSA master key that you’d used for client-side file encryption. |

2. Run the set command and provide the current master key file path and the new master key file path.
