• 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?

• Ask HN: How best to sync a subset of my files with a friend?

  I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/. After minimal setup, it just works(tm). You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to the other peers (which you set up in the "minimal setup"). I have been using it for years, and it works well. It has no problems crossing os'es (i.e. Windows -> linux, linux -> mac) For windows I usually recommend - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop

  Do consider Syncthing particularly if you are using Android. If using apple iOS you'd need the möbius sync client. https://syncthing.net/ https://www.mobiussync.com/ One thing that it beats the cloud / centralized sync on is because the connection is direct between devices when the initial transfer is completed the file is completely there on the other device.
