# Request content directly from the storage

> Find the correct URL format for requesting files directly from Gcore Object Storage or SFTP Storage, including hostnames and examples.

Object Storage and SFTP Storage use different URL formats. Find the hostname in the [service URLs](/storage/manage-object-storage/s3-service-urls-and-default-region-names) list or in the **Details** section on the **Storages** tab of the [Gcore Customer Portal](https://portal.gcore.com).

![Storage list with the Details option open in the actions dropdown](https://mintcdn.com/gcore/bP_M3iNvkCNJWoX1/images/docs/storage/request-content-directly-from-the-storage/storage-list-details-menu.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=bP_M3iNvkCNJWoX1\&q=85\&s=3da19934fe6bfe27876e87953aafa04b)

The URL format differs between Object Storage and SFTP Storage:

| Storage type | URL format | Notes |
| - | - | - |
| Object Storage | `http(s)://<bucket-name>.<hostname>/<file>` | HTTP and HTTPS supported |
| SFTP Storage | `https://<storage-name>.<hostname>/<file>` | Upload files to `htdocs`; omit the directory from the URL |

Examples:

* Object Storage — bucket `mybucket`, file `picture.png`, Luxembourg location:
  ```sh theme={null}
  http://mybucket.s-ed1.cloud.gcore.lu/picture.png
  ```
* SFTP Storage — storage `12345-test`, file uploaded to `htdocs/picture.png` at `ams.origin.gcdn.co`:
  ```sh theme={null}
  https://12345-test.ams.origin.gcdn.co/picture.png
  ```
