    How to look for dated folders in AWSS3 using directory and file Prefix

    • Q: If we write a Pascal Script, “on rule begin” can use insert a variable in the “Directory & File Prefix” setup?

    Our S3 bucket has ~600,000 items and takes about 3 minutes per scan just to transverse the files, and we’re trying to speed that up 🙂

    We’re looking for dated folders, but I don’t see any “allow parameters” like you can in the directory filtering.
    limagito file mover S3 directory and file prefix
    • A: Yes, you can add date parameters in the ‘Directory & File Prefix’ field like %TCD:YYYYMMDD:
    limagito file mover S3 directory and file Prefix
    limagito file mover parameter options
    • Reply customer:
    You’re correct, that “Directory & File prefix” is linked to the file filter setup tab. So any changes in source are duplicated there, And we can check the “allow parameters” under the advanced tab.
    AND it works 😊

    I am asked to provide a public SSH key for a new SFTP connection

    Q: I am asked to provide a public SSH key for the new connection.

    >> Are you able to provide me a public ssh key so we can make the connection passwordless? Let me know and I will create the account so you can test your connection. Thanks

    Can I give them the same public key I use for encrypting files, and set up on my rule same as I have set up to decrypt files with the private key and password? See the screen shot below.

    If you can let me know as soon as possible, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

    limagito file mover provide a public SSH key

    A: No, you can not use PGP encryption/decryption keys for SFTP Public-Key authentication

    https://limagito.com/how-to-generate-a-rsa-key-for-sftp/

    Generate SSH key pairs( public and private), private key will be saved as xyz.ppk (important). Send SSH public file to the people in charge of the SFTP server. Put the private file in the Limagito File Mover setup, use vendor 2 – CK.

    If you need any help with this new option, please let us know.
