How to copy a file via the browser to Amazon S3 using Python (and boto)?

You can't do this with boto, because what you're asking for is purely client-side - there's no direct involvement from the server except to generate the form to post What you need to use is Amazon's browser-based upload with POST support. There's a demo of it here.

This is the solution. I didn't know the upload is purely client-side. Thanks a lot!

No, I have an application (python + boto 1.9b) running at Google App Engine. I want to implement, that the users can upload files from their clients into their S3-buckets via a HTML-form (file dialogue). – Neverland Jan 17 '10 at 9:53.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
