Hi …  
Please find the code below :

return nil

```

}

**Error :**  
Error for storj test network ( **storj sim** ):  
1) When i am creating a bucket using above code and then try to upload data in that bucket , data is not getting upload to storj test network ( **storj-sim** ) but if i create bucket using Minio web GUI ( **localhost:11000** ) and then run only **data uploading** code . Above program uploads data to the bucket but after uploading data bucket becomes inaccessible when i try to check bucket data in web based GUI ( **localhost:11000** ) , so when i click on bucket name from the sub menu ( **localhost:11000** ) page refresh and opens first bucket in the list

Error on storj network (live) :  
1)When i created bucket using above code and trying to upload data then program is displaying error  
**Error uploading object segement error : ecclient error :**  
And when i am trying to upload data to the bucket (created by above program) using Uplink cli then error displayed  
**Fatel error : decryption failed , check encryption key**

Question

1. Is this error is due to encryption key ?  
2)If above error is due to encryption key then how can i manage encryption key error ?
2. if now how can i solve this issue ?

@littleskunk i had problems to with stefans setellite and encryption, i thougth this were a release problem, but it could be a more common problem.

Hey @shivam201312, I altered your script to debug this issue on my computer, and once I got it working with my local `storj-sim`, this is what I had

```auto
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"io/ioutil"

	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	err = makebucketanduploadfile(context.Background(), "localhost:10000", "TestEncryptionKey", key, "mybucket", "myfilepath", []byte("datatouploadasdf"))
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
	}
}

func makebucketanduploadfile(ctx context.Context, satelliteAddress string, encryptionPassphrase string, apiKey uplink.APIKey,
	bucketName, uploadPath string, dataToUpload []byte) error {

	//upl, err := uplink.NewUplink(ctx, nil)
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("could not create new Uplink object: %v", err)

	defer upl.Close()

	}

	receivedContents, err := ioutil.ReadAll(strm)
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("could not read object: %v", err)
	}

	fmt.Println("received", string(receivedContents))

	return nil
}

```

Could you try running this and let me know what happens? The API key you use will need to be different, and you also might see an error related to mismatching RS numbers (which can be updated in the `setDefaults()` function inside `lib/uplink/project.go`).

I am still seeing the other issue you mentioned, which is that I can see the bucket in minio, but not the file after running the script. I am not sure the root cause of this yet, but I’d like to see what happens when you try out the script I pasted.

@shivam201312  
To access file uploaded programmatically with cmd _uplink_ you need to serialize _access_ used with _OpenBucket_, put it into separate file and add new parameter to _config.yaml_.

To serialize:  
`access := uplink.NewEncryptionAccessWithDefaultKey(*encryptionKey) fmt.Println(access.Serialize())`

Parameter for config.yaml:  
`enc.enc-access-filepath: "/home/wywrzal/.local/share/storj/uplink/access.txt"`

@michaln i have created file

and provided paramter :  
api-key: “apikey”  
enc.enc-access-filepath: “/home/xyz/.local/share/storj/uplink/access.txt”

When i run ls command for listing object in bucket output is :

Ok, you listed bucket without a problem. It looks to be empty. Do you expect to have a file there?

@michaln,

Satellite: [mars.tardigrade.io:7777](http://mars.tardigrade.io:7777)

I did the following:

1. Created a new file access.txt and pasted the serialized access key.
2. Uncomment and provided the file path:  
enc.enc-access-filepath: “~/.local/share/storj/uplink/access.txt”

Here are my findings:

1. When I do: ./uplink\_linux\_amd64 ls

**It is not listing my buckets.**

1. When I do: ./uplink\_linux\_amd64 ls sj://karl-test/test/

**It is not listing any objects from the specified bucket.**

Snapshot from my terminal:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Here is the output, but without the serialized access in config.yaml file.

I upload a file from my go code at the spcified uploadPath.

hmm not sure why you have empty listing. I took your code, modified it a little bit and I was able to use uplink to list my results. Please take a look at this gist - [https://gist.github.com/mniewrzal/31cf28f1c5745d0ea6e4840a5dbeb951](https://gist.github.com/mniewrzal/31cf28f1c5745d0ea6e4840a5dbeb951)

Output from this code in my case was:

```auto
    Creating New Uplink Object
    Open Project 
    Create Bucket my-bucket
    Create Bucket <nil>
    Creating new encryption abc
    List of bucket 
    Bucket: %v
     my-bucket
    Serialized access: 12Vtx3EyTEX3Xnh...
    Opening created bucket my-bucket
    Opening bucket <nil>
    Converting Data to Buffer
    Error uploading object <nil>
    Opening bucket for downloading
    Downloading range
    Read from the stream
    Successful upload/download

```

And my uplink result:

@michaln now , i am able to list object from the bucket using **uplink cli**  
Thank you
