The S3 page on the Advanced Site Settings dialog allows user to configure Amazon S3 protocol specific options.

To reveal this page you need to select Amazon S3 file protocol on Login dialog.

Refer to documentation of page sections:

  1. Add the Elastic IP of your instance to the ip4 config ikon in your iis ftp settings; open TCP port 20, udp port 21, and tcp port 990 (ssl) in Amazon firewall; Be shure the same ports are open in the internal firewall (windows Firewall) or run som tests with the firewall turned off; client settings. Set your FileZilla client to use Active connection.
  2. In your Amazon AWS Console, go to AWS Transfer for SFTPand create a new server. In SFTP server page, add a new SFTP user (or users). Permissions of users are governed by an associated AWS role in IAM service (for a quick start, you can use AmazonS3FullAccesspolicy). The role must have a trust relationship to transfer.amazonaws.com.

Amazon S3 will only share an S3 Bucket Key for objects accessed by the same AWS KMS customer master key (CMK). Configuring S3 Bucket Keys You can configure your bucket to use an S3 Bucket Key for SSE-KMS on new objects through the Amazon S3 console, AWS SDKs, AWS CLI, or REST API. CrossFTP is a powerful FTP and Amazon S3 client. Webber is a web debugging proxy/monitor that allows developer to view all HTTP/HTTPS traffics. Reviews 'The way CrossFTP handles transfers makes it the fastest FTP client' - Lars Koudal, Fastest FTP client for MacOS.

Use Default region to specify the default region for an authentication and new buckets. When no default region is specified, us-east-1 is used.

Ftp To S3

Use URL style to switch to legacy PathURL style, when connecting to S3-compatible systems (e.g. MinIO) that do not support the Virtual Host URL style, which is now preferred by Amazon S3.

When you want to authenticate using temporary credentials with AWS STS, specify the temporary keys on the Login dialog and the security token in the Security token box. This feature is available only in the latest beta release.

If you need to access/manage files stored on Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) bucket via SFTP, there are two options. You can use a native managed SFTP service recently added by Amazon (which is easier to set up). Or you can mount the bucket to a file system on a Linux server and access the files using the SFTP as any other files on the server (which gives you greater control).

  • Managed SFTP Service
  • Mounting Bucket to Linux Server
  • To create a Managed SFTP server for S3, in your Amazon AWS Console, go to AWS Transfer for SFTP and create a new server (you can keep server options to their defaults for a start).
  • In SFTP server page, add a new SFTP user (or users).
    • Permissions of users are governed by an associated AWS role in IAM service. To create a role which has a full access to all your S3 buckets, just create an S3 service role with AmazonS3FullAccess policy.
      The role must have trust relationship to transfer.amazonaws.com. On a role page, select Trust relationships tab, click Edit trust relationship button, and in the access control policy JSON document, change Statement[].Principal.Service value to transfer.amazonaws.com:1
    • Generate a key pair for your new user and paste public key fingerprint to SSH public keys box (use the format you would otherwise use for OpenSSH authorized_keys file).

You can connect to the managed SFTP server as to any other SFTP server.

The host name of the server can be found on the server page as Endpoint in a format server_id.server.transfer.region.amazonaws.com.

This guide shows how to mount the S3 bucket using s3fs file system to an Amazon EC2 server and access it using WinSCP.

If you do not have a Linux server available for the mounting, launch a new Amazon EC2 server.

A basic Amazon Linux AMI (free tier eligible) server will generally suffice and the following instructions are tested on this distribution. Instructions for other distributions may differ.

Start by installing s3fs file system.

  • Switch to root:
    sudo su
  • Store security credentials that will be used to access the S3 bucket to /etc/passwd-s3fs:
    echo<access-key-id>:<secret-access-key>>/etc/passwd-s3fs
    chmod 600 /etc/passwd-s3fs
    (Replace the <access-key-id> and <secret-access-key> with the actual values)
  • Create mount point (example):
    mkdir /mnt/<bucket>
  • Add entry to fstab to mount the bucket:
    echos3fs#<bucket>/mnt/<bucket>fuse_netdev,rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,nonempty00>>/etc/fstab
    (Replace the leading <bucket> with your bucket name and the /mnt/<bucket> with the mount point)
  • Mount the bucket:
    mount -a
  • Learn how to connect securely to Amazon EC2 server with SFTP.
  • Once connected, navigate to the mount point (e.g. /mnt/<bucket> folder).

  • Guide to automating operations (including upload).
