• Best way to use ftp(s) to s3 for document upload?

  Could Storage Gateway help here? EC2 fronts the FTP endpoint to a file server that is Storage Gateway? Source: over 1 year ago

• Allow S3 files to be accessed from an on-prem app

  One option is https://aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/ (plus VPN). Source: over 1 year ago

• self hosted s3 server?

  That helps, thank you. You might have a look at AWS' Storage Gateway, more specifically the S3 File Gateway. Source: over 1 year ago

• Are there tools or service that provide near realtime file sync to s3

  I *think* storage gateway can do this (https://aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/). Also, several of the Amazon FSx services can, I think. They all basically mean you have a remote file system to which you write, and that file system gets backed up to FSx. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Best way to approach scheduling a call to move data (csv) from my ERP system to S3?

  You can deploy Storage gateway in your local environment, and copy the files to storage gateway, it will automatically sync the files to s3. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?

  FreeFileSync https://freefilesync.org/ I have been a happy user for years and have made a donation too. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Which synchronization tool are you using together with the pCloud Crypto Folder?

  FreeFileSync messed up my pCloud database a couple times at first (causing disappearing files in the Crypto Folder, mirroring of the same files over and over again). Pcloud support provided an easy way to fix the database. To fix the root cause, one needs to exclude FreeFileSync's temporary files from the backup: pCloud Drive > Settings > Backup/Sync Exclusions, exclude sync.ffs_lock and *.ffs_tmp.

• Why are file backups so slow on Windows 11?

  As per Apprehensive_Arm_754 answer below, https://freefilesync.org is the solution to my particular problem, since it allows all kind of simple rules and logic to apply, so I can make sure that the copy only happens in one direction, and only ever by file date etc. Much appreciated.

• Is it possible to sync Calibre configuration between Mac and Windows continuously?

  It was me, I'd probably play around with setting up shared folders of preferences and plug-ins and whatnot on something like dropbox or Google Drive. There are various folder sinking tools on both platforms such as free file sync on Windows. Since they are two completely different platforms, I don't know how interchangeable some of the preferences or plugins would be. I haven't used a Mac in a 100 years. Source: 6 months ago
