Using Amazon S3

[oleteacher]

Really like the simplicity of your smart uploader, great job.

I am confused on how to setup amazon s3 within the js files. Looking at examples is not helping me to understand. Did not see anything on wiki?

Could you explain where I would enter my Amazon S3 info?

Thank you.

@oleteacher,
Thank you question.

I just make post request to Amazon S3.
So, you need to allow files:
Choose your bucket, click to "Permissions" tab, in "Public access" you have what you need.

You can use this simple form to upload any file

  <form action="http://[YOUR_BUCKET_NAME].s3.amazonaws.com" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  	<input type="text" name="key" value="my file's name here">
  	<input type="file" name="file">
  	<input type="submit" >
  </form>

Hope it helped

UPD
As far as I know, Amazon allow upload only one file in one request.
And key always must be before file

UPD

I almost forgot.
It's unsecure method because every person can upload their files and replace yours!
So you should pre-sign your request with special key. This key is created on server side (it also contains path to file).

Once, this link helped me

Even if you don't use Heroku or Ruby on Rails, reading this article should help.

For other languages you can use search on Heroku.
And also see the official docs

Thank you much for reply and input @kofon95

I was under impression that your script was setup to use amazon key & secret. I will explore to see if can use as is.

Thank you again.
