Append the file for Copy and Move | Does not support appending an object once an S3 object or a file is uploaded. This limits ActiveTransfer's support for resuming the transfer of the file from the point of interruption. This is applicable for Upload, Copy, and Move tasks. | |
Socks proxy | ActiveTransfer supports only HTTP and HTTPs proxy for Amazon-S3 endpoints. | |
Upload the batch of small files to Amazon-S3 | Uploading a batch of small files takes a significant amount of time. This action is time-consuming as ActiveTransfer needs to initiate and then confirm each upload irrespective of the size of the file. For actions, it is recommended to use parallel processing for a large batch of small files which needs to be uploaded to the Amazon-S3 endpoint. | |
Unexpected behavior on unzip task with the compressed file in Amazon-S3 | If the source for an Unzip task is a ZIP file that contains a large number of files, then it can lead to unexpected behavior. This occurs in the following scenarios:  For the compressed file which contains a larger number of files.For an unzip task which takes beyond 5 minutes to unzip the files.If S3 closes the input stream from where ActiveTransfer reads the compressed files. | |
Delete a folder | Amazon-S3 does not support directory structure, hence it represents a directory using S3 keys and delimiter / symbol. If an S3 key contains a / symbol, then text till the delimiter is considered as a folder. However, if there are multiple S3 keys with the same folder name, then to delete a folder ActiveTransfer must delete all S3 file objects that belong to that particular folder. This process is time-consuming. If you attempt to delete a directory, then ActiveTransfer consumes time to list and delete the files of that particular directory. | |
