Description Dotan Cohen 2009-01-22 09:38:45 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

It would be nice of Dolphin supported the browsing of the Amazon S3 service filesystems just like it supports SSH and FTP remote filesystems.

As a starting point, here is a project that attempts to mount S3 filesystems locally:

Thanks.

Note that the Amazon S3 system uses a permissions system that is slightly different than the Linux file permissions. It is called ACL (Access Control List) and it works like this:
http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/latest/index.html?S3_ACLs.html

Linux | S3
-------------
Owner | Owner
Group | User by E-mail / Canonical Representation / User Group
Other | Anonymous Group

To be compatible with standard Linux filesystems, I suggest that "User by User Group" be the only type of "Group" supported. The types "User by E-mail" and "User by Canonical Representation" do not seem to fit into the Linux permissions mindset, nor should they.

For Ubuntu users, this guide describes how to set up the previously-mentioned s3fs FUSE project:

Doesn't seem likely, sorry.
