Researching how Copy multiple files from local folder to AWS S3 via appeon-pb (2019) script.

Looks like there is a few options 

Have anyone done it?

Thank you.

REST is your best option. 

I have not done this for AWS S3, but i have for Azure blob.  Same general idea.  Kevin Ridley also did a rest based upload to dropbox:   Using Dropbox REST API from PowerBuilder - YouTube       His presentation uses Oath, which is a bit harder than the S3 auth requirements.

 

 

  

The worst part is getting the list of all files from a directory.  You either have to do the visual listbox that is native in pb (this really needs improved), or use api calls to do it.

Windows API functions to get a list of files in a directory can be found in my FTP example or in this one:

It looks like you should be able to use FTP, which would probably be the easiest way.  As Mike mentioned, you could possibly use REST also.  Roland has a nice FTP utility that works great with PB.  Links below:

My FTP example is based on WinInet which does not support SFTP.

Will FTP do it better?   For filecopy, I think FTP is required, which is available in PB 2022.

Hi Sivaprakash ... The FTP feature is not planned for GA. That would be a PB2022 Release 2/3 feature.
