Amazon (AWS) S3 Presigned URL

Question

I am using the Amazon SDK in Visual Studio. I am trying to upload files to the S3 location using the File.Copy command.

The AWS SDK provides a service to generate a pre-signed URL so that files can be uploaded or downloaded. I have this, but when I try to use it, and error is thrown. "Illegal Character". The last part of the URL is "%2FRFfYsyil%2BTsk%3D".

The code snippet used is:

VB

Dim isrc As String = "C:\Test\Test1.doc"
Dim iDest As String = upldurl & "\Test1.doc"

Try
    File.Copy(isrc, iDest, True)

Catch ex As Exception
    MsgBox("Error occured during upload of file: " & iflnm & vbCrLf & _
           "ERROR: " & ex.ToString)

End Try

Hi kevin,

I don't think this can be done through File.Copy

The below articles are a very good examples of how files can be uploaded to AWS S3.

PHP AWS SDK (S3)[^]

Beginning with Amazon S3[^]

uploading an image with aws sdk for net[^]

I know this is not the solution but you can give it a try. I see your code is in VB.Net but these links are in C#. Just a Heads up.

UPDATE: Just found another link for simple File upload Example. Check the third one.
