InitiateMultipartUploadResponse InitiateMultipartUpload( InitiateMultipartUploadRequest request )
Parameters- request (InitiateMultipartUploadRequest)
- The InitiateMultipartUploadRequest that defines the parameters of the operation.
Return Value RemarksThe upload ID associates all the parts in the specific upload. You specify this upload ID in each of your subsequent Upload Part requests. You also include this upload ID in the final request to either complete, or abort the multipart upload request.
After you initiate a multipart upload and upload one or more parts, you must either complete or abort the multipart upload in order to stop getting charged for storage of the uploaded parts. Once you complete or abort the multipart upload, Amazon S3 will release the stored parts and stop charging you for their storage.
Examples
This example shows how to upload 13MB of data using mutlipart upload.
The data is contained in a stream and the upload is done in 3 parts:
5MB, 5MB, then the remainder.
