Uploading files to Amazon S3

[ikh]

Has anybody uploaded files programmatically to Amazon S3 using VFP?
Thanks.

No, but read about it at

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/Welcome.html

This already tells some important to notice facts about S3:

1. If at all, your only chance to use it without any of the non VFP SDKs is via HTTPS API requests, HTTP already isn't supported.
2. authenticating such requests is cumbersome and easier with SDK usage.

From these two informations alone, I'd go the route to use some SDK for .NET or PHP or anything else you can do and not port or implement the API in VFP.
Alone the fact Amazon might also deprecate access via HTTPS and only allow access via its official SDKs means going for some SDK you're on the sure side of future support.

Bye, Olaf.

Thank you Olaf.
I installed SDK for .NET. Is there a way to use AWSSDK.S3.dll in VFP ?

i've not used this one but have used their google and sharepoint integrators and they work well.

Well, a .NET SDK is a .NET SDK. You may try using it via dotnetBridge from Rick Strahl. Google it.
Or use the ActiveX Nigel recommends.

You can use .Net with VFP via the West Wind dotNetBridge. See
