Access Object Storage through IP/Winscp
Hi,
I have just created Object Storage, could you guys please let me know how can I access object storage through WinSCP or through IP?

You access object storage using https…which is layered on top of TCP which is layered on top of IP. Consequently, you can use networking tools like curl or wget to access object storage (if you're patient enough to figure out how to do it).
WinScp only knows how to deal with a canonical file system…not object storage. In order to use WinScp, you need to make object storage look like a regular Linux file system.
The only way I know of to do that is to set up FUSE and s3fs:

It's not hard but fraught with peril…and, as an extra bonus feature, it will be verrrrrrrrrrry slow.
Isn't there a version of s3cmd for Windoze? That's prob your best bet…
