Alibaba Cloud CLI allows you to configure environment variables for a proxy server to access and manage cloud services. The following table describes the environment variables. For more information about how to configure the environment variables, see Configure environment variables in Linux, macOS, and Windows.

HTTP proxy

Variable	Variable value
`http_proxy`	Format: `http://proxy_server_address:port` Examples: `http://192.168.1.2:1234` `http://proxy.example.com:1234`

HTTPS proxy

Variable	Variable value
`https_proxy`	Format: `https://proxy_server_address:port` Examples: `https://192.168.1.2:5678` `https://proxy.example.com:5678`

Configure a proxy by using an oss command

oss commands do not support proxy configuration by using environment variables. You can specify the following information to configure a proxy:

# The URL of the proxy server. HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 proxies are supported. Examples: https://120.79.XX.XX:3128 and socks5://120.79.XX.XX:1080.
--proxy-host

# The username that is used to access the proxy server. By default, this parameter is left empty.
--proxy-user

# The password that is used to access the proxy server. By default, this parameter is left empty.
--proxy-pwd

Sample code:

aliyun oss ls oss://<Bucket> --proxy-host <YourProxyHost> --proxy-user <UserName> --proxy-pwd <Password>
