Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3

Hi guys, i intend to sign up for the simple storage service provided by AWS for parts of my backup. Firstly, can you transfer data via FTP , if not, what methods of transfer are avaliable between your PC and S3, and is it secure enough to hold all my work? Also, am i charged for transfer between my PC and AWS , or is it just public transfer.

If you have any experience with AWS i would very much appreciate ANY advice, and if you have a better alternative, i would also appreciate that

Just answered my question about transfer between my PC and S3, yes i am charged

yes I use AWS for hosting flash video trailers for my clients sites – you cannot ftp in to the account – I use cyberduck on my Mac (not sure if it’s available on pc) – but if you google for an uploader to S3 there are plenty of freebies.

It’s a little peculiar at first as you have to create these bucket things (they are basically just folders) to store things – but yes it’s ridiculously cheap and I chunk out a large amount of bandwidth for movie trailers across many sites.

Great service and very secure.

In fact Envato use them for images on market places.

I use cyberduck on my Mac.

nope not just ftp – also connects to S3 servers

Use Firefox for that S3Fox

Guys, i’m going to try out sync2s3 and then probably buy it, anyone had any experience with this product? Or recommend a better one for an XP machine? Cheers

In reply to your PM: I don’t use it

I plan to start hosting files with amazon on my site though,

Cool! Signed up and ready The sync software i have works really well! Just set it up and leave it

I plan on doing this next month, let me know how it goes

I thought I read you had FTP rights, that kinda sucks
