Upload to AWS

If you do not have an AWS account, contact one of the web developers and they can set up an account for you.

  • Rename the file. Sometimes the name of the files contain extraneous information that isn't necessary for the person downloading the file. Double check with the person that you got the file from if you can revise the name to a more friendly name. A simple name like esa71x-update-3.7.zip should be sufficient.
  • Log in to AWS
  • Navigate to the software upload page.
  • Click Add Files to select the file to be uploaded
  • Select the file to be uploaded in the file browser
  • Under Permissions (a dropdown at the bottom of this page), change to Specify Individual ACL permissions.

  • Click Upload.
  • After the file has been uploaded you can click the yellow Close button.
  • Navigate to the file container by clicking on the file name
