To Install and Run (via ClickOnce):

http://spaceblock.s3.amazonaws.com/install
Once installed, the application can be launched via the start menu

Features

Amazon S3 Integration
- Support for EU buckets
- Handles difficult key/bucket names (like unicode chars outside of the ASCII range & invalid urls)
- Edit ACL, Bucket Logging Status, generate signed URLs
- Leverages the cross-platform CodePlex.Resourceful REST library (http://www.codeplex.com/resourceful)
Define multiple accounts (e.g. allowing for streaming transfer between S3 accounts)
Vista compatible
Saved settings encrypted via the Windows Data Protection API (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms995355.aspx)

Solution Layout

The codebase currently consists of two solutions:

SpaceBlock.2005 (VS2005)

CodePlex.SpaceBlock
- Core library (for abstracting file systems, etc)
CodePlex.SpaceBlock.MSBuild
- MSBuild task library
CodePlex.SpaceBlock.NAnt
- NAnt task library
CodePlex.SpaceBlock.Test
- MSTest project
CodePlex.SpaceBlock.UI
- WinForms front-end

SpaceBlock.2008 (VS2008)

CodePlex.SpaceBlock
CodePlex.SpaceBlock.UI
CodePlex.SpaceBlock.Test35
- API examples using some of the new c# 3.0 features

What's New

Release 0.0.2.6
- Experimental support for a new file system type based on the Sun Cloud Object Storage api (just in time for JavaOne).

Release 0.0.2.5
- Azure storage settings now make it easy to connect to the local development storage fabric: check Use Development Storage.

Release 0.0.2.4

Supports basic folder management functions, transfers, metadata, and ACL (public/private containers)

Release 0.0.2.3
- Added a new content-type "text/javascript" to the static list
- New "Custom..." option to choose a content-type not in the static list

Release 0.0.2.2

Release 0.0.2.1
- Added a new file system type based on the Sql Server Data Services beta service http://www.microsoft.com/sql/dataservices/default.mspx

Release 0.0.2.0
- Added mime types for flash files (FLV and SWF)
- Fixed Nirvanix file system for file uploads (broken by a Nirvanix api upgrade)
- Using the new Resourceful library 0.0.2

Release 0.0.1.13
- Handles intermittent S3 server errors more gracefully (retry requests with exponential backoff) - especially noticeable when uploading a large number of small files
- New Feature: Bucket creation dialog now shows bucket name availability

New Feature: Remember values used in the Edit Metadata dialog (user request)

New Feature: Ability to display file times in UTC time (user request)

Release 0.0.1.12
- Enhancement: Prompt to exit if transfers are active
- Enhancement: Skip S3 log files that cannot be accessed (occasionally unreadable)
- New Feature: Set S3 default transfer ACL to private, public-read, or bucket (private or public-read depending on bucket ACL)

Release 0.0.1.11
- Ability to perform server-side file renames on S3! (thanks to the new COPY object beta feature)

Release 0.0.1.10
- Ability to set custom HTTP headers when uploading to S3

Release 0.0.1.9
- Enhanced Amazon S3 url generation dialog to include public urls (user request) & virtual host-style urls in addition to signed urls

Release 0.0.1.8
- Quick fix to underlying CodePlex.Resourceful library that should improve S3 retry logic

Release 0.0.1.7
- Enhancement: Deleting large numbers of files from an S3 filesystem is now much faster (and happens in the background)
- New Feature: Open file - launches the file in the OS-default application (or in explorer if no default)

Release 0.0.1.6
- New Feature: Transfers View - manage multiple simultaneous transfers between file systems (similar to Opera's transfers tab).

Release 0.0.1.5
- Automatic handling of time differences between the local machine and Amazon's S3 servers. Should minimize or eliminate RequestTimeTooSkewed responses.

Release 0.0.1.4
- Reduced the number of resources loaded during the initial ClickOnce launch
- Up-front file-system validation
- What's New dialog after every version upgrade
- New Feature: Support for virtual drives backed by the Nirvanix storage network (http://www.nirvanix.com)

Once installed, the application can be launched via the start menu

Features

Amazon S3 Integration

Support for EU buckets
Handles difficult key/bucket names (like unicode chars outside of the ASCII range & invalid urls)
Edit ACL, Bucket Logging Status, generate signed URLs
Leverages the cross-platform CodePlex.Resourceful REST library (http://www.codeplex.com/resourceful)

Define multiple accounts (e.g. allowing for streaming transfer between S3 accounts)
Vista compatible
