What I've learned so far about the Amazon Cloud Windows client: 1. It will not install from a "network location" (i.e., NAS). I can't imagine why that check was even put in there...and the installer just initiates a download of the real code, anyway! 2. If you're running a VPN, attempting to log on just results in a claim that the client can't connect to the Internet. As soon as you disconnect the VPN (i.e., compromise your security) it will connect. Again, I can't even imagine why that check was put in there. 3. There are no encryption options at all that I can see. Whatever you're uploading appears to be completely visible to Amazon to do with whatever they please. Or maybe it's all encrypted with some default users can't control. 4. It will fail to upload files when it deems the path name too long. 5. If you accidentally create a directory via the client, you can only delete it via the web interface. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105604 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
