S3Man

Background info

"S3 buckets" from Amazon provide Simple Storage Service. Working with AWS S3 Buckets is really easy to start leveraging the Amazon cloud for storage. However it does require commonly either to use a web-based client (which means a server if you do not want to use directly Amazon provided administration tools) or tedious configuration on your computer.

S3Man is a small tool to support simple upload/download/view capabilities for your files stored in buckets.

It is completely integrated with the Carpenter - which allows you to manage parquet files.

It is a convenient add-on to CharSep to deal with csv files maintained in S3 buckets.

Of course, you will need an AWS subscription to connect to your cloud account. AWS is publishing a lot of information on how to get such an account - you can get it for free - and the concept of S3 buckets.

Download

S3Man is a java-developped program, using a "Swing" user-interface - and therefore can run on MacOS, Linux, Windows...

You can download 2 different files depending what you need :

WINDOWS - EXECUTABLE DOWNLOAD

A wrapped-exe version is available by clicking here for standard Windows users. It's a wrapped executable - meaning that it will search for the best suitable Java Virtual Machine on your PC to execute this program.

This version is the simplest way to run S3Man however it has some limitations.

- Windows only (XP, Vista...)

- It may be wrongly detected as a virus by some antivirus software since executable is not signed

If you want to run it on Linux or MacOS, or do not want/cannot download an exe file, you will need to use the jar file (see below).

JAR - FILE DOWNLOAD

S3Man is  also available as an executable jar file by clicking here and saving the file to your local disk. It is a freeware - you can download and use it on any computer without requiring any admin/install privileges. No "installation" is required - just copy the jar file and run it...

You can get the ico file for setting an icon here.
