Using S3 to Share Files with DMS Direct
Overview
DMS Direct will provide access to a shared S3 bucket in order to facilitate easy and secure transfer of files. Sending DMS Direct files via S3 requires 2 simple steps:
Configuring AWS Access
If your organization has an account with Amazon Web Services, IAM Roles are the best way for DMS Direct to provision your account with access to our shared bucket.
- Create or choose an IAM Role that you will use to push files
- Attach our bucket policy to the role
- Provide DMS Direct with the ARN of your role
If you do not have an account with AWS, DMS Direct will provision you with an access key and secret key that you may use to push files to S3.
Pushing Files to S3
DMS Direct will provide you with your own private directory within our shared bucket, named for your unique client ID.
Please upload files to the {YOUR-CLIENT-ID}/incoming directory and retrieve
files from the {YOUR-CLIENT-ID}/outgoing directory.
Our bucket name is traverse-partners
AWS CP Command
You will use the aws cp command to upload files, like so:
aws s3 cp {source file} {destination file} --acl bucket-owner-full-control
Full cp documentation may be found here.
Fixing object permissions
If a file was improperly uploaded, you may be asked to fix its permissions, like so:
aws s3api put-object-acl --bucket traverse-partners --key {the path to your file} --acl bucket-owner-full-control
