Ask HN: Trouble uploading to S3 from local?
3 points by goodgoblin on March 8, 2009 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments
Hi folks - I'm working on some site improvements and suddenly I can't put anything to S3 from my local env. Has anyone else had this issue before? I have put a note on the amazon support forum. I'm using windows, developing in ruby, I've tried the right_aws gem and the amazon s3 gem to no avail - running a tracert doesn't look good -

You might want to check with S3Fox. Not really useful for batch uploading, but if it can still connect that might be useful info for debugging....


Yes - I am able to upload with S3 Firefox organizer. Also I am able to upload using JetS3t - the java client - but both ruby gems I use - rightscale's and amazon's are failing.


can you telnet to the port (both 80 & 443)? perhaps one lib is using ssl and the other not. amazon blocks icmp packets, so the traceroutes, they do nothing.
