FileZilla Pro + AWS S3 Multi-part uploads

[BMoreE]

Considering purchasing Pro, but specifically to enable getting very large files from my Mac up to S3.

Therefore I need to know if multi-part upload is supported in FileZilla Pro - I couldn't find any answer to that question (not for lack of searching!)

This guy tried - but he ended up at the customer forum probably: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=53549&p=175835&hili ... rt#p175835

Anyone have any clue if I can get files > 5MB uploaded to S3 via FileZilla?

thanks!

Absolutely, FileZilla Pro can upload files of any largeness to Amazon S3, and automatically resume in case of interruptions.

Please note that if you are using a third-party hosting provider that merely emulates S3, make sure they emulate all of it, not just some select few parts.

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, I have my own AWS instance so I was going to create a bucket to back up some stuff in Glacier, but realized I'd have to go write code to get these big-ass video files up there. 25 bucks is well worth it to avoid that

Does anyone happen to know if it actually does use the multi-part upload feature of S3? That can help make transfers MUCH faster by parallelizing the transfer - otherwise I'm afraid it'll just take way too long.

I could check the open-source code myself, but I'm guessing since this is a "Pro" feature that that particular implementation would not be viewable in the repo?

Multi-part uploads are always used for files larger than 5MiB. The different parts of a single file are always uploaded sequentially. You can upload multiple different files in parallel though.

Great, thanks again!
