AWS Java putObject InvalidRedirectLocation

Question

When I try to upload a file to s3 using the aws java sdk I get an error about InvalidRedirectLocation.

Exception in thread "main" com.amazonaws.services.s3.model.AmazonS3Exception: 
The website redirect location must have a prefix of 'http://' or 'https://' or '/'. 
(Service: Amazon S3; Status Code: 400; Error Code: InvalidRedirectLocation;

Here is a snippet from my code.

String s3Bucket = "test_bucket";
String s3FileName = "test_file.txt";
String localFileName = "C:\\Users\\ABC\\Desktop\\test_file.txt";    

s3.putObject(new PutObjectRequest(s3Bucket, s3FileName, localFileName));

I am able to list files in a bucket and copy files from one bucket to another, but I am not able upload files. Any idea why?

Answer 1

I was passing the location of the file as a string to the putObject function, I needed to use the File Class so the following code solved my issue.

String s3Bucket = "test_bucket";
String s3FileName = "test_file.txt";
String localFileName = "C:\\Users\\ABC\\Desktop\\test_file.txt";    
File file = new File(localFileName);

s3.putObject(new PutObjectRequest(s3Bucket, s3FileName, file ));
