Amazon S3 ports

[Stuarta]

Just setting up a S3 backup for a customer of ours but I'm thinking that the connection is being blocked somewhere and don't know if I need to open any ports.

While configuring, it finds the buckets ok, but as soon as I try to apply the settings I just get

"Connection failed. Please check your network settings"

I've just tried the same settings elsewhere on my Diskstation and it works, but then I'm not on a network behind firewalls.

Thanks

Through trial and error, I found that I can throttle port 443 TCP and control the upload speed. It also uses other ports to error check the data. I've had limited success with port 843 on TCP. That's all I know. Hope this helps.

just tried blocking 843 on my home one but still working

Wondering if it's a proxy issue, but then I've just uploaded a file via the Amazon console on the same network fine.

Got it showing 'connected' now. It sits for a while on 'Please Wait' if I force a backup but after a while fails. If I check the Network Log, it just shows

Amazon S3 Backup: Backup Taks [My Backup Set 1] fail.

Going round in circles. Now getting "The operation failed. Please log in to DSM again and retry", while trying to create a new job

Getting somewhere now. It all connects, shows backing up and reports the same in the log file, but after a time, it stops, shows failed and network backup log just says it's failed, no reason why.

I can see that files are being updated on the S3 console, but it's just a db file and a couple of dss files, not what I'm asking to be backed up
