Can I access, download, and upload files to AWS EFS via the AWS SDK for .NET?

Question

I just want to access, download, and upload files on AWS EFS.

What packages need to be installed or what is the code for it if I'm using .NET?

Answer 1

Amazon EFS is an elastic NFS file system i.e. network drive as a service.

The file system needs to be mounted on e.g. EC2 instances, a Lambda function, ECS, EKS or locally before you can access it via the NFSv4 protocol.

You can't just upload files to it via any of the AWS SDKs, including the AWS SDK for .NET. The AWSSDK.ElasticFileSystem is a control-plane package for accessing the EFS service, not for interacting with the EFS drives themselves.

Answer 2

I believe we can utilize the file system (System.IO) to upload and read files from AWS EFS in Net.
