Upload to Amazon S3 - Error 6 (orig post deleted?)
Mar 26th, 2025 at 4:49pm
 
Hello - it appears that my post regarding errors when uploading to Amazon S3 has "disappeared" without any reply (on this forum or my email).

Here is the error, as previously posted:

***WARNING*** Plugin returned errorcode 6. Error message=ChilkatLog:

Hi,

I am not sure I've seen a previous post about this...

Can you do this:
- enable "debug"
- run the task and drop a file into the monitored directory
- when it fails, stop the task
- right-click the task, select "backup" from the popup menu
- email me the backup (see my email address below)

More details here:

After performing some additional research regarding Chilkat version 9.5.0.68

This is a very old version (released circa 2017) and does NOT default to AWS signature version 4.

AWS signature V2 is:
- Deprecated
- No longer supported in most regions
- Sometimes rejected silently with a 403 forbidden

Even if the credentials are correct Chilkat version 9.5.0.68 is likely generating SigV2, causing AWS to reject.

Any thoughts or plans to update the upload to S3 function to utilize SigV4 ?

Thanks!

Also - emailed you the debug log (after scrubbing the sensitive items).

Thanks!
