Amazon File System Provider

Nov 24, 2023

Set the ASPxFileManager.ProviderType property to Amazon to allow ASPxFileManager to operate with files contained in the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

The Amazon file system provider is an instance of the AmazonFileSystemProvider class, which defines methods to get the file and folder hierarchy, and methods to edit file manager items.

Provider Settings

Use the AccountManager.RegisterAmazon method to register an Amazon account in the global.asax file and then specify the following settings of the ASPxFileManager.SettingsAmazon property to connect ASPxFileManager to Amazon cloud storage:

FileManagerAmazonProviderSettings.AccountName: Specifies the name of the Amazon account.
FileManagerAmazonProviderSettings.BucketName: Specifies the name of the current bucket.

ASPxFileManager allows you to perform custom actions on every request to Amazon S3. To do this, handle the ASPxFileManager.CloudProviderRequest event.
