Amazon S3

Hi – I have read through many posts here but cannot seem to find the answer…

Being an S3 newbie I am having real trouble understanding how to set up the URL for the product download settings.

The instructions say;

“Basically, enter your Product URL using the following method in the “Digital Product URL” field:

as3tp://bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/folder/object”

Here, “bucket” is the name of the S3 bucket containing the digital product, and “folder/object” is the S3 key which points to the digital product.

Does this mean REPLACE the ‘bucket’ term in the url with the actual bucket name?

Does ‘folder/object’ mean REPLACE both of these with your A3 acccess key?

i.e. as3tp://mybucketname.s3.amazonaws.com/A787483734343″ and then paste this into the product download field?

It doesn’t seem very clear to me at all – any help appreciated on how to form the url which is then placed into the ‘add/edit’ / ‘Digital Content Details (Click to Expand)’

Almost correct.

1. “bucket” is the name of the S3 bucket containing the digital product. That’s correct.
2. In the bucket you can create a folder like on your harddisks.
3. In this folder you put your digital product (like a PDF or a MP3).

So let’s say the name of my bucket is “blatternet”. Here I create a folder named “pdf”. And in this folder I upload my “ebook.pdf”.

So the correct path is:

as3tp://blatternet.s3.amazonaws.com/pdf/ebook.pdf

You don’t have to use folders. So you can upload “ebook.pdf” directly in the bucket. Then the path is:

as3tp://blatternet.s3.amazonaws.com/ebook.pdf

This works if you filled in the settings correctly.
