We need the assets provided in an Amazon S3 bucket. We will set up your bucket folder and provide you with the credentials. You will receive the following credentials (provided separately):
Access Key ID: 20-characters key
Secret Access Key: 40-characters secret key
To put data in an S3 folder, we’ll give you more insight into two possibilities:
Cyberduck (freeware tool with a simple drag and drop interface)
AWS Command Line (to use in terminal – for the whole flexibility)
Of course, you or your former DAM provider can upload the assets in a different way if you’d like.
Cyberduck:
Download Cyberduck on https://cyberduck.io/
Install
Add bookmark
Choose “Amazon S3” as storage unit
Add the S3 URL provided by us. Again, make sure that “Amazon S3” is selected as storage unit (it sometimes changes to WebDav). In case it changes to WebDav, just switch back to "Amazon S3"
Add Access Key ID
Add Secret Access Key
Close bookmark
Double click on bookmark
Drag and drop all assets or upload them with right-click > Upload
AWS Command Line Tool
Install Command Line Tool
Run the following commands:
curl "https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cli/awscli-bundle.zip" -o "awscli-bundle.zip"
unzip awscli-bundle.zip
sudo ./awscli-bundle/install -i /usr/local/aws -b /usr/local/bin/aws
Close Terminal
Use Command Line Tool
Open terminal
Run the following commands:
aws configure
AWS Access Key ID [None]: YOURKEY
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: YOURSECRETKEY
Default region name [None]: eu-central-1
Default output format [None]: json
Then, you can upload your assets from a folder to the destination with the following command:
aws s3 cp SOURCE_DIR s3://DEST_BUCKET/ --recursive
Example: aws s3 cp ~/Downloads/Test/ s3://frontify-transfer/Demo/ --recursive
