Access AWS S3 via FTP?

Is it possible to access your AWS S3 bucket via ftp?

I am currently using the AWS console to upload files but this is rather laborious as you cannot upload entire directories.

I note that AWS does not offer direct ftp access to S3, but there are some ftp clients who offer this service. Can anyone recommend a solution?

Thank you.

No, I don't think this is possible - sorry!

However, there are lots of tools out there for uploading and syncing content to S3 - many of them free and many of them open source.

I tend to use CloudBerry Explorer for my tasks - including the command line interface - but there are lots of alternative products and solutions out there.

New versions of WinSCP support "Amazon S3". Just select "Amazon S3" as "File Protocol". You need "Access key ID" and "Secret Access key".

Cyberduck, Transmit & CrossFTP

There's a lot of S3 compatible clients.

You can use s3 cmd, also you can configure aws cli and use command to upload files to s3. I would recommend to use http://s3browser.com/

Yes, you can do this using CloudFTP from SMEStorage. I use this to have my website automatically backup to S3 (http://www.smestorage.com/?p=static&page=CloudFTP).
