<p>No, you cannot quote part of a parameter like that. git-annex thinks you are trying to use a host that includes the quote marks you put around it.</p>
<p>Since you're using Windows, I can't give any advice on how to use quoting at the shell/cmd prompt. However, I don't see any need for quoting here anyway.</p>
Remove quoteshttp://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/Windows_S3_host_issue/comment_2_06ecc76797c430b27a2e24776761d043/Rob2013-12-13T04:44:28Z2013-12-13T04:44:22Z
I tried the command with and without quotes it results in the same error. I think the issue is that the host is trying to resolve a concatenation of the hostname and amazon.com when in fact it should be resolving to the host name only.

<p>Looking at this again, you forgot to tell it the name of the remote, so it took the first parameter (host="objects.dreamhost.com" ) as the name. The rest probably follows from that mistake.</p>
<p>use <code>git annex initremote mys3 host=...</code></p>
