S3 Activities
Properties Configuration Settings
The S3 Activity provides access to Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3).
Remarks
The S3 Activity allows you to access Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) securely over an SSL connection. S3 allows you to store arbitrary data in buckets on Amazon's server and access them from anywhere using an Internet connection. Please refer to Amazon S3 documentation> for additional details.
You will first need to sign up for the S3 service and obtain the AccessKey and SecretKey from Amazon. Once you have a valid AccessKey and SecretKey, you may begin uploading/downloading files to and from your buckets.
S3 Receive Activity
The S3 Receive Activity will download objects specified by the ObjectMask property contained within the Bucket. The AccessKey and SecretKey properties must be set in order to authenticate with the Amazon server. If you wish to enable SSL, you can turn it on by setting the UseSSL property to true and setting an appropriate SSLCert and SSLAcceptServerCert.
S3 Send Activity
The S3 Send Activity requires a Bucket and a ObjectKey to specify the location to upload to. The AccessKey and SecretKey properties must be set in order to authenticate with the Amazon server. If you wish to enable SSL, you can turn it on by setting the UseSSL property to true and setting an appropriate SSLCert and SSLAcceptServerCert.
Please refer to the section on adapter configuration for a description of how to configure receive locations and send ports for this adapter.
