I’ve been looking for an Amazon S3 client for the Mac for awhile, that had a couple key features that seem to be missing from apps like Cyberduck or Transmit. Mostly I wanted a better way to manage permissions and make it easier to share files with my friends, and I needed something to throttle my bandwidth so I can leave beefier transfers running without nuking my Gears of War latency.
You can download it over at: http://s3hub.com
And, also, its an excuse to do some Cocoa again now that Objective-C 2.0 is out. Garbage collection, declarative properties, and fast enumeration help remove a lot of cruft and let you focus more on making things work. Also there are alot of new and really nice API’s in Leopard like NSOperationQueue.
A major feature I don’t have yet is sync’ing (syncing is hard); but I think that should come in the next version hopefully. I have some ideas about generating rss feeds or some way to track new files which I think could be really useful. If you have any ideas or find any bugs, leave a post on the group.
Very nice. Really good work and thanks for sharing.
However I wonder if European S3 buckets give S3Hub a problem. I opened my other buckets ok but when I tried to access my recent European bucket, it threw up this:
"The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint. Please send all future requests to this endpoint."
Not sure what that endpoint is or how to send a request to it.
Any ideas?
BTW. I just created another European bucket and tried again with the same result.
Thanks
Oh thats probably a bug. Will take a look. Thanks!
I just churned out European bucket support and fixes for the endpoint stuff, should have another build flying soon.
Does this work on 10.4?
Ah nope, 10.5 only. I guess I should have mentioned that.
Just wanted to say thank you! This is the best S3 client I’ve worked with.
