How to upload via FTP (or alt.) to AWS S3?

Hello,

A simple question about Amazon (AWS) S3 storage. Is there any other way to upload data to S3 apart from the web console interface?

I have a huge amount of family photos and home videos split into hundreds of directories I would like to backup remotely, so FTP seemed as the most convenient option in this case.

Thank you.

• Have a look through this which lists a number od solutions for backing up data to Amazon S3.

  mr-euro : Thanks Iain, nice list. I'll chew through it.

• After reviewing many options I finally went for the free Windows client of CrossFTP which so far works great uploading entire directories to Amazon S3 just like any other FTP session.
