I guess the Rackspace support team might be able to help you on this.

when i trialed amazon cloud, you had to download them to your pc and then upload them.

I wonder if there is a way for those of us with root access or maybe even regular access to directly transfer from our server to the cloud this would make things easier I am told there is a way but everyone says they will have to look into it

I am not sure about Rackspace. But with Amazon AMI , you get all the access to root, SSH and what else.

Mark:

for Amazon cloud, there is an excellent S3 Firefox plugin to work with your buckets. I personally use this.

I am using amazon and want to take files and send them to the cloud without downloading them to my computer

You mean to an Amazon S3 bucket or to a complete amazon LAMP image instance?

Hope you are aware that there is a difference between these 2.

If you just want to store the ow_userfiles in the Amozon cloud, install S3 Organizer plugin in Firefox. Follow the steps mentioned. After that you can sync up your local folder with your amazon bucket. No download/uploads.

ok an dafter I do that I still need help configuring my config.php its obviously not working with the instructions listed in documentation

Did you tried removing the "{" and "}" in the config file?

The doc does not specify whether the brackets needs to be present.
