Provides a high level utility for managing transfers to and from Amazon S3.

TransferUtility provides a simple API for uploading content to and downloading content from Amazon S3. It makes extensive use of Amazon S3 multipart uploads to achieve enhanced throughput, performance, and reliability.

When uploading large files by specifying file paths instead of a stream, TransferUtility uses multiple threads to upload multiple parts of a single upload at once. When dealing with large content sizes and high bandwidth, this can increase throughput significantly.

Methods

Note:

Asynchronous operations (methods ending with Async) in the table below are for .NET 4.5 or higher. For .NET 3.5 the SDK follows the standard naming convention of BeginMethodName and EndMethodName to indicate asynchronous operations - these method pairs are not shown in the table below.

NameDescription
Public Method AbortMultipartUploads(string, DateTime)

Aborts the multipart uploads that were initiated before the specified date.

Public Method AbortMultipartUploadsAsync(string, DateTime, CancellationToken)
