[BNM] Amazon S3

[Ali]

Hi all

 

You may recall I asked about solutions for a friend running a record label
whereby he needs to receive and post large files (up to 1GB) from and to
different clients 

 

I was recommended a cheap dreamhost shared hosting space with unlimited b/w
(thanks Jay) and S3

 

I passed on the both and my friend likes S3 as it could be free in quiet
months and is reputable.

 

Now he says 'how do you use it?' - my initial skim of the documentation
raises fears that a front end needs developing however it would be nice if
it worked like:

 

Create a bucket and user privileges

Install a web form and viewer page into the bucket

Go

 

Anyone know if this is do-able or must the upload form(s) sit on a site
elsewhere and therefore need api coding for user privileges?

 

Cheese,

 

Ali
