We are looking into using Amazon S3, Mosso CloudFiles, etc. I want to upload directly to cloud storage, vs having to store the files temporarily on the server. We have used your Uploader control in the past, but only for storage on the server.

do you have any thoughts/best practices/etc on this when using your control?

Hi,

You can do that indirectly by having the uploader to upload the file to your server first, then transfer the file to Amazon S3 using Amazon's Web Service API. As soon as you transferred the file to S3, it no longer stays on your server. You will need to write the code that transfers the file from your server to S3 (I would expect Amazon to provide you samples though). So the files go from client to your server through uploader, then go from your server to S3 through your code.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!
