AWS S3 and AjaXplorer

I'm using AjaXplorer to give access to my clients to a shared directory stored in Amazon S3. I installed the SD, configured the plugin (http://ajaxplorer.info/plugins/access/s3/) and could upload and download files but the upload size is limited to my host PHP limit which is 64MB.

Is there a way I can upload directly to S3 without going over my host to improve speed and have S3 limit, no PHP's?

Thanks

The only way around this is to use some JQuery or JS that can bypass your server/PHP entirely and stream directly into S3. This involves enabling CORS and creating a signed policy on the fly to allow your uploads, but it can be done!

I ran into just this issue with some inordinately large media files for our website users that I no longer wanted to host on the web servers themselves.

The best place to start, IMHO is here: https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload

A demo is here: https://blueimp.github.io/jQuery-File-Upload/

This was written to upload+write files to a variety of locations, including S3. The only tricky bits are getting your MIME type correct for each particular upload, and getting your bucket policy the way you need it.

I think that is not possible, because the server will first climb to the PHP file and then make transfer to bucket.

Maybe
