Page 2 of 2 If you start s3ganize for the first time, you will be asked for your Amazon S3 Identifiers. Like described at the top on the previous page, you should type in here your Access Key ID and your Secret Access Key. Both you'll find on Amazon Sites in your S3 Account. If you have to sign up for Amazon Services, please follow this link.
If all typed in data are correct, s3ganize tries to establish a connection to your Amazon S3 Storage. Should there occure an error containing the words "time out", please try it again. s3ganize is now ready to work with. If your screen looks as empty as the following screen shot, something failed. Either your Amazon Idenitifers are incorrect, or network problems occured. Please try again while restarting s3ganize or right-click on the node called "Amazon S3". A context menu opens up. Click here on "Add Amazon S3 Account".
If everything worked fine, you should have at least tree entries on the tree view on the left side. Next to the node called "Amazon S3" you'll find the node named with your Amazon Access Key ID. If there are buckets existing in your S3 Account, your Application could start like this:
If not, it doesnt matter. So lets create some buckets. In Amazon S3 language, buckets are like folder or directories on your hard disk. Before you upload a file to Amazon S3, you have to create at least one bucket. Each bucket get a name as an identifier. Type in what you want. But be aware of global usage of this bucket name. If you create a bucket named "computer", this name is reserved only for you worldwide! So please dont be disappointed, if a lot of bucket names are already used by other people.
Have fun with s3ganize and please feel free to report me your experiences with that. |
