Remote Host Setup

Post by onyii5119 »

How is the remote host setup in JS3Explorer? Is it possible to use JS3Explorer to filter content of a bucket and expose it to a user that does not have S3 credentials to download? I don't want the user to upload files to my S3 bucket.

Moreover, I do not want to expose my aws credentials to the user in any way.

You can remove "upload" button. Also, to avoid passing AWS credentials, please use S3Policy parameter an generator:

Does it help ?

You need download feature only, correct ? Could JFileDownload fit to your need ? It doesn't support S3 yet but we can add it.

That would be great!

I need a feature where I can expose a filtered content from S3 bucket to a user. The user can then select files to download. It would not be necessary for the user to have an S3 account. Moreover, I don't want the host S3 credentials exposed in the applet in any way.

I hope it is clear. This is a feature any body with an S3 account will love.

Thanks.

Ok, added to the wish list. If you would like this feature quickly and you're willing to pay for it then I think it could be done in January.

It is a feature, I think will help you sell your product. The way JS3Explorer is right now, is not very useful for a serious application. Nonetheless, if you can incorporate the feature, that will even make me buy it, if done by January. I don't want it done as a custom task but as an enhancement to JS3Explorer.

Kindly let me know what you have decided to do.

Thanks.
