Write files in temporary datasets on a bucket

In some cases, files must not arrive on the destination system with their correct filenames, as this would immediately trigger processing. We therefore need a temporary filename that can be renamed once the transfer is complete. However, to do this, Connect Direct requires file system permissions on the destination system to perform actions such as Remove, Move, and Rename.

    We are working on to add the following functions

    • A copy function, from a bucket/object to a bucket/object; buckets can differ but must be accessible with the same credentials.

    • A move function, from a bucket/object to a bucket/object; buckets can differ but must be accessible with the same credentials.

    • A delete function.

    Does it solve the problem ?


    Thanks,

    James
