Hi Ramya,

I assume you are talking about the 'Amazon AWS S3 File Upload' driver? Which was also discussed in this question: Amazon AWS S3 File Upload-Parameter - DataMiner Dojo?

This driver uploads files from the DMA node to AWS S3 storage. On the configuration page of the element, you can specify which files need to be uploaded to AWS S3. You can do this by specifying a folder on the DMA node in the parameter 'Source Folder', in combination with an optional regex filter defined in the parameter 'Source Filter'.

It is not possible to specify a folder on the 'client', because there could be several clients connected, and they are typically not connected 24/7. The element using this connector, needs continuous access to this folder, so this needs to be a folder on the DMA node.

If you would like to upload a file from the client, you will first need to upload the file from the client to the DMA node, in the correct folder, and then the element will pick up this file to upload it to AWS S3 (by default the folder is checked each hour, but this is configurable).

Now, the easiest way to upload a file to the DMA, is using the Documents module. If you create a folder 'AWS S3 Upload' under the 'General documents', and you upload a file in there. It will arrive in the folder "C:\Skyline DataMiner\Documents\DMA_COMMON_DOCUMENTS\AWS S3 Upload" on the DMA node, and this should be the folder you configure in that 'Source Folder' parameter.

This way, all files you upload to this folder in the Documents module, will be transferred to AWS S3 within the hour (or whatever you defined as interval).
