How to access S3 via FTP

Installation

This guide is primarily for Ubuntu users and shows how to install the latest version of FileZilla when it is not available through the Synaptic Package manager.

Download the latest version of FileZilla from here (new UNBUNDLED versions!)

Note: Where you see YOUR_FILENAME_HERE replace it with the name of the file you have downloaded.

Open a terminal and change directory to where you have downloaded the file from FileZilla, then run the following commands:

sudo tar jxvf YOUR_FILENAME_HERE.tar.bz2 -C /opt/
sudo chown -R root:root /opt/FileZilla3/
sudo chmod -R 755 /opt/FileZilla3/

To create a menu entry, open a terminal and run the command:

sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/filezilla.desktop

Add the following text:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=FileZilla
Comment=FTP Client
Exec=/opt/FileZilla3/bin/filezilla
Icon=/opt/FileZilla3/share/pixmaps/filezilla.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network;
StartupNotify=true

You will now be able to launch FileZilla from the start menu, click Applications → Internet → FileZilla.
