S3

Hi,I want to use Amazon S3 cloud as a storage for the updates.There is no problem to define Amazon S3 as an upload site since i can enter all the required values such as:Bucket, Directory, Access Key and Secret key.The problem is when i define in wyupdate the download site. There are no such (s3) fields, just http or ftp.Do you know how I can define the download site as Amazon S3?

Thanks,Shlomi

You have to use an HTTP site for S3. (That is, an http URL accesses your S3 data). This is the default behavior according to Amazon:

Amazon S3 is intentionally built with a minimal feature set.

  • ...
  • Built to be flexible so that protocol or functional layers can easily be added. The default download protocol is HTTP. A BitTorrent protocol interface is provided to lower costs for high-scale distribution.
  • ...

Thanks for the quick response.What does it mean to "use an HTTP site for S3"?How can i incorporate all the required values for S3 (Bucket, Directory, Access Key and Secret key) in the HTTP request?Does it mean that i need to build a site that will function as a proxy to the S3?

Thanks,Shlomi

Your files must be public, and thus accessible via HTTP. Here's an article explaining how to do it: How To Set Up and Host A Publicly-Accessible File on Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service).
