Sylvain Furt , I agree with your comments. We are moving forward with using the 19.1 Plug-in April Schuppel suggested. As such, I have not made any modifications to the plug-in. As I was working on a proof of concept, I would have likely just changed the Plug-in to hard code for my region, as opposed to US_EAST_1. I agree, it is likely better to update so that it is parameterized. I too was able to get theh Plug-In to upload a file, but only if the S3 was in US_EAST_1
I do believe the new 19.1 Plug-in is superior. Anyone with access to a 19.1 environment with S3 needs should use that Plug-In instead. Others will need to modify this plug-in to work with the S3 Region they need. Depending on scope and bandwidth, the entire Plug-In could use a refresh, as it's using deprecated AWS methods.
