Hi,

just started looking at the above for all my various site file storage and have found very few examples of asp.net webservices (call that none!!) that use a simplified api to the s3 service. the only working example i've found is from http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry!default.jspa?categoryID=47&externalID=372&fr omSearchPage=true

however, it'll take a bit of reworking. basically, i suppose i'm looking for a very simple class object that allows me to create/modify/delete buckets and request data from any bucket with just simple one line code calls.

hopefully, someone out there has managed this and for those who are unaware of amazon S3, take a look and wonder why you've been paying so much for storage all this time:

ok - looking fwd to the avalanche of replies :)

just getting back onto this stuff again and have made some inroads. my remaining issue is in uploading large files (the PutObjectInline method used to allow uploading large files but due to memory constraints, has been throttled back to 1MB!!. this means a different approcah needs to be taken and i'm investigating this as i type. however, if nayone has tackled this area and is managing large uploads, then i'd love to see the code if possible)

i presume no-one's using amazon S3 to any great extent yet?? so, anything i find, i'll drop here.

I don't know much about how widespread S3 use is yet but I can tell you there's some coverage of this in our Amazon Mashups book too. See:

and this brief article from the S3 chapter:
