 * This was not obvious in the AWS dashboard. I was getting a curl error #6:
 *     ```
       CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST (6)
       Couldn't resolve host. The given remote host was not resolved. 
       ```
   
 * It was caused by the wrong region being entered into the Xcloner settings for
   AWS Region.
    I entered “US Standard” because that’s my region I selected and 
   in the properties for my bucket that is what it shows. But it doesn’t work. After
   logging into my S3 account I noticed this in the URL: home?region=us-east-1
 * So I entered “us-east-1” as the region and it worked. No idea how I would have
   found that out through the S3 dashboard.
