Utility for Copying Files from an SFTP Server to an S3 Bucket
Once you have extracted the utility, installed the dependencies, and configured Boto3, navigate to the sftp2s3 directory, and do something like this:
python sftp2s3.py mysftpserver.com:/path/to/file.png my-s3-bucketname python3 sftp2s3.py mysftpserver.com:/path/to/file2.png my-s3-bucketname
- boto3 config help
- pysftp troubleshooting guide
Both dependencies can be installed with pip. You may need to upgrade your pip installation first. Further tips and tricks can be found in the troubleshooting guide.
Boto3 requires:
- credentials for a IAM user with full access to S3 and SES
- a default region, that matches the region of your S3 bucket
To switch on email notifications:
- copy notification_email_sample.txt to notification_email.txt
- modify notification_email.txt to meet your requirements
Note that if your AWS account still has its SES service locked in sandbox mode (the default), you can only use validated email addresses. Also note that SES is only available in 3 regions.
