Amazon S3 - File Transfer Program
by admin on May.07, 2007, under Software
I have been looking far and wide for a good free file transfer program (not FTP, different protocol) for Amazon S3. S3 only has an API not an interface for you to upload your files. Since I am not a developer and can’t make a program to use their API I need to find one. Free is the best.
I have played with quite a few and it seems like most of them out there are either really fast transfers with the worst interface you have ever used. Either that or the interface is great and the transfers are dog slow. The other class of programs I have been finding are backup programs; I don’t want to just make backups I want to be able to pick and choose what I put up there and change rights.
I finally found what I was looking for, a product called Sissle. This program has a blazing fast transfer, a great user interface and all the features you could want for basic transfers. You can setup your ACLs, it supports file structures, it functions basically like a FTP program just using Amazon’s API.
I just started using it this morning so if I find any major problems I will update this post. So far it is great!
