There are three options to connect to an Amazon S3 bucket with FTP or SFTP:
- You can use a native managed SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) service recently added by Amazon (which is easier to set up).
- Or mount the bucket to a file system on a Linux server. Then, access the files using the SFTP like any other files on the server (which gives you greater control).
- Or you can just use a Graphical User Interface client that natively supports the S3 protocol
If you are looking for an online course to learn AWS, I recommend this AWS Certification course by Intellipaat.
