Wasabi

Files.com integrates with Wasabi buckets in several ways.

The Remote Server Mount feature connects a specific folder on Files.com to the remote server in real time. That folder becomes a client, or window, accessing the files stored in your remote server or cloud.

Once you configure a Mount, any operation you perform on or inside that folder acts directly on the remote in real time. Whether you are dropping a file into that folder, deleting a file, creating a subfolder, or performing any other file or folder operations your Files.com user has permissions for, those operations pass through to the remote in real time.

Mounts enable use cases such as accessing files on a counterparty's cloud without provisioning individual user access, reducing storage costs by using on-premise or bulk storage, and giving applications access to third-party clouds through the Files.com API, FTP, SFTP, or Files.com Apps.

The Sync feature pushes or pulls files to or from remote servers. Files exist in both places at the end of the sync process.

A sync can be a "push," where files from your Files.com site are transferred to the remote server, or a "pull," where files are transferred from the remote server to your Files.com site.

Add Wasabi as a Remote Server

Add a new Remote Server, and select Wasabi as the server type.

You must provide an Internal name for this connection. If you're managing multiple remote servers, make the name clear enough to easily identify this particular connection.

The Authentication Information contains the credentials Files.com uses to connect to the service.

Once your Remote Server is added, you can integrate it with Files.com as either a Remote Server Mount or Sync.

Authentication Information

Files.com supports connecting to Wasabi buckets in any region.

Files.com uses an Access Key and Secret Key to authenticate requests, following the protocol established by AWS for S3, and also used by Wasabi. Files.com requires full access to the Bucket being used.

You can enter the Access Key and Secret Key directly, or select a saved credential from the Remote Server Credential Manager.

Add Remote Server Mount

Remote Server Mounts are created by mounting them onto an empty folder in Files.com. We do not recommend mounting onto the Root of your site, although that is supported if you need it.

Add Sync

After creating the S3 Compatible Remote Server, you can use it to perform Syncs between your bucket and Files.com.

Automations

Folders configured with a Remote Server Mount to Wasabi can be used with automations, so Wasabi storage buckets can serve as source locations or destinations for your automations.

Case Sensitivity

Be aware of case sensitivity differences when copying, moving, or syncing files and folders between Wasabi and other storage locations. Wasabi is a case-sensitive system whereas other systems may not be. Files can be overwritten, and folder contents merged, when their case-insensitive names match.
