and it keep make 403 forbidden error(Signature doesn’t match).
and I already checked AccessKey & SecretKey several times, but there is no problem.
And this is a code file.
public ActionResult TestAWSGetFile() { Hashtable parameters = RequestUtils.GetHashtable(Request);
string strToSign; string url = (string)parameters[“WURL”]; string date = (string)parameters[“date”]; string subUrl = (string)parameters[“subURL”];
string awsSecretKey = (string)parameters[“awsSecretKey”]; strToSign = “GET” + “\n” + “\n” + “\n” + date + “\n” + subUrl;
Encoding ae = new UTF8Encoding();
HMACSHA1 signature = new HMACSHA1);
string sig = Convert.ToBase64String(signature.ComputeHash(ae.GetBytes(strToSign.ToCharArray())));
ViewData[“signature”] = sig; ViewData[“WURL”] = url; ViewData[“date”] = date; ViewData[“subURL”] = subUrl; return View(); }

Hi, I just downloaded s3cmd version 0.9.9.91,
I’ve no problem with sync <localdir> s3://bucket,
but I’m trying to also sync from s3 to local dir, and doing
s3cmd s3://<bucket>/directory <localdir>
don’t work, as it says that it’s a parameter problem to pass in and S3 directory instead of a local directory first, what am I missing?
I see in your example that giving the s3 bucket/directory name as first parameter is syncing from s3 to local disk, is that not correct ?

Hi, I was strugling to use s3cmd to upload data to s3 from ec2-windows2008 IIS7 by IIS7’s vb6-made cgi.
Finally I have successfuly uploaded the data to s3 from ec2’iis7.
Following is the report.
The acutual cause of unsuccess to upload using IIS’s cgi is that the path to s3cmd.ini is different from the one kicked by batch.
We have to modify s3cmd file ;
Line about 1500, comment out #cfg = Config(options.config)
instead we write
cfg = Config(“C:\python26\s3cmd.ini”)
and copy s3cmd.ini from installed place to
(“C:\python26\s3cmd.ini”)
That’s all
Previously I used S3COPY uo upload.
But S3Copy’s ACL is private fixed.
So I could’n retrieve from S3 from automated programs.
So now I’m using this amazing tool because we can specify arbitrally ACL by this tool.

I’ve mailed you guys, written to the mailing list and gotten no response. Anyways:
I’ve noticed in the git repo that some additions have been done to support multipart uploads of large files. When will this be released?

Hi,
I am using s3cmd version 1.0.0. I have configured the tool and added my access key and secret key. On doing the “test access” run I keep getting this error:-
Test access with supplied credentials? [Y/n] y
Please wait…
ERROR: Test failed: Request failed for: /?delimiter=/
Retry configuration? [Y/n]
Any idea what might be going wrong? I am already using Boto lib for accessing. Just want to test out s3cmd as well.
Would appreciate your help.
thanks,
piyush

I am trying to setup sync from multiple AWS accounts using the same s3cmd setup.
By running s3cmd —configure, it will create the AWS account specific info such as access key and security key.
Is there any way to supply the AWS credential info dynamically on the sync command itself or whether it is possible to supply the location of the .s3cfg file for different s3cmd operations?
Thanks,
-Kevin
