I am making a Cron Job in AWS Server and I have this File Handling function which creates JSON file. I already have Amazon S3 Cloud Storage, and I want my JSON file saved inside it. How can I do it? I tried to locate the directory for Amazon S3 Storage using Filezilla but found nothing. Thank you!
you have to put another command into your cron.
After you create a Json file, you have to use awscli to upload your json to S3 storage.
Here is how to install it.
installation guide
after its set up, you can use aws s3 command to upload it.
have a look here for more information.
S3 upload command
I guess this this a command you need to add.
aws s3 cp ./yourfile.json s3://your-bucket-name/

I have did a number of searches and can't seem to understand if this is doable at all.
I have a data logger that has FTP-push function. The FTP-push function have the following settings:
FTP server
Port
Upload directory
User name
Password
In general, I understand that a Filezilla client (I have a Pro edition) is able to drop files into my AWS S3 bucket and I had done this successfully in my local PC.
Is it possible to remove the Filezilla client requirement and input my S3 information directly into my data logger? Something like the below diagram:
Data logger ----FTP----> S3 bucket
If not, what will be the most sensible method to have my data logger JSON files drop into AWS S3 via FTP?
Frankly, you'd be better off with:
Logging to local files
Using a schedule to copy the log files to Amazon S3 using the aws s3 sync command
The schedule could be triggered by cron (Linux) or a Scheduled Task (Windows).
Amazon did add support recently to AWS Transfer for FTP support. This will provide an integration with Amazon S3 via FTP without setting up any additional infrastructure, however you should review the pricing at the moment.
As an alternative you could create an intermediary server that can sync between itself and AWS S3 using the cli aws s3 sync.
How can we move or copy one server doc file to another server s3 bucket. I have details of both of the server. Can we move or copy it using code like in PHP ?
It appears that you are asking how to upload a file to an Amazon S3 bucket.
The simplest way is to use the AWS Command-Line Interface (CLI):
aws s3 cp foo.txt s3://mybucket/foo.txt
If you wish to use this via PHP, then you can use the AWS SDK for PHP. It has a PutObject() command that adds an object to an Amazon S3 bucket.
I have a workflow need. I have a customer that does not want to deal with our S3 folders where we drop their files. They want us to send the files directly to their SFTP account. When I unload files from my backend they automatically unload to S3 from AWS services. As this is a one time request per customer I don't wish to set up an automated transfer protocol in a Lamda or bash script. nor do I wish to go through the hassle of copying the file to my local server only to post it to the SFTP site. I would prefer to just right click on the file and select to transfer to SFTP location. Does anyone know if AWS has any plans to add file transfer protocol support into the S3 console UI? (SFTP, FTP, etc.)
What would be even better is if AWS S3 allowed all files dropped in an S3 bucket location to be automatically transferred to the SFTP location defined -- in the scenario where the customer never wishes to deal with S3, but we need to use it.
Given the current capabilities of Amazon S3, automating a send of files from Amazon S3 to an SFTP target would require the use of an AWS Lambda function.
There are a few ways to do this, since you are looking for the most easiest way i would suggest you to install s3fuse on a linux server, this enables you to mount s3 as a file system. You can directly mount it on the sftp server and copy them locally , below is the URL for s3Fuse.
https://cloud.netapp.com/blog/amazon-s3-as-a-file-system
The other method would be to use the AWS CLI to do recursive copy , this would involve installing AWS CLI and generate API keys. Below is an example of the command.
aws s3 cp s3://mybucket/test.txt test2.txt
You can revoke the API keys once you are done with the transfer!
As per my project requirement, I want to fetch some files from on-prem FTP server & put them into a S3 bucket. Files are of size 1-2 GB. Once the file will be put into the FTP server folder, I want that file to be uploaded to S3 bucket.
Please suggest the easiest way to achieve this?
Note- Mostly the files will be put into FTP server only once in a day, hence i dont want continuously scan the FTP server. once the files will be uploaded to S3 from FTP server, i want to terminate any resources (like EC2) created in AWS.
These are my ideas:
I think you could create an agent on your FTP server that will upload the files every N seconds/minutes/hours/Etc using the AWS CLI. This way you're avoiding external access to your FTP server.
Another approach is a Lambda function for pulling process, but like you said the FTP server doesn't allow external access.
Create a VPN between your on-prem and the cloud infra, create a Cloudwatch event and through a Lambda execute the pulling process.
Here you can configure a timeout:
Create a VPN between your on-prem and the cloud infra, from your FTP server upload the files using AWS CLI (pay attention to sync option). Take a look at this link: https://aws.amazon.com/answers/networking/accessing-vpc-endpoints-from-remote-networks/
With Jenkins create a task to execute a process that will upload the files.
You can use Storage gateway, visit its site here: https://aws.amazon.com/es/storagegateway/
Here is how we solved it.
Enable S3 acceleration on your S3 bucket. This is very much needed, since you are pushing large file.
If you have access to the server install aws cli and perform a sync on the folder to s3 bucket. AWS CLI will automatically sync your folder to bucket. This way if you change any of your existing files, it will keep in sync with S3 bucket. This is ideal and simplest way if you have access to the server and able to install aws cli.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/transfer-acceleration-examples.html#transfer-acceleration-examples-aws-cli
aws s3api put-bucket-accelerate-configuration --bucket bucketname --accelerate-configuration Status=Enabled
If you want to enable for specific or default profile,
aws configure set default.s3.use_accelerate_endpoint true
If you don't have access to ftp server in your premisis, you need an external server to perform this process. In this case you need to perform a poll or share file system, copy the file locally and move it to s3 bucket. There will be lot of failure points with this process.
Hope it helps.
I'm using AWS to host a static website. Unfortunately, it's very tedious to upload the directory to S3. Is there any way to streamline the process?
Have you considered using AWSCLI - AWS Command Line Interface to interact with AWS Services & resources.
Once you install and configure the AWSCLI; to update the site all that you need to do is
aws s3 sync s3://my-website-bucket /local/dev/site
This way you can continue developing the static site locally and a simple aws s3 sync command line call would automatically look at the files which have changed since the last sync and automatically uploads to S3 without any mess.
To make the newly created object public (if not done using Bucket Policy)
aws s3 sync s3://my-website-bucket /local/dev/site --acl public-read
The best part is, the multipart upload is built in. Additionally you sync back from S3 to local (the reverse)
