It is written in Java and exposes the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?node=16427261">Amazon S3 online storage service</a> via WebDAV. It is promising because it looks like it can seamlessly expose S3 storage to users via most operating system's native <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV">WebDAV support</a>. This will make using S3 as simple as using a network drive. Being Java it can run on just about any platform and either operate at the server or client level. If I had the time I would like to add authentication code to the project, it authentication to OpenLDAP/eDirectory and SQL databases would be a very handy feature to have if you wanted to expose the service to a number of users.<br /> </p> </div> <ul class="field-taxonomy-vocabulary-1"> <li> <a href="/tech/java">java</a> </li> <li> <a href="/tech/webdav">webdav</a> </li> <li> <a href="/tech/s3">s3</a> </li> <li> <a href="/tech/amazon">amazon</a> </li> </ul> Mon, 04 Sep 2006 21:48:38 +0000 David 306 at https://www.stress-free.co.nz
