More on S3.Net
IT Chapters No Comments »Since my first post was a little lean on information about S3.NET, I thought a follow up was necessary.
S3.NET is a .NET 2.0 implementation of Amazon’s S3 service. S3 allows you to upload and download files for a very small fee. They use a bucket and object analogy. You have unlimited buckets that you can place objects in.
I’ve modified this analogy to suit the way people work. The class library implements a directory and folder analogy to help people just create files and folders as they would with their computer.
The class library communicates with S3 directly uploading/downloading/deleting files and folders as required by the user. Much more work needs to go into the UI, but the class library is pretty solid.
As with the previous post, I’m looking for some help with the asynchronous code and the UI. The ease of placing files in S3 and the incredibly low cost of the service makes this a great alternative for your home-rolled backup solutions.
Ideally, I would like a fully functioning windows forms app, a web service extension of the class library and a fully asynchronous class library to form the full project.
