Files.com provides integration with Akamai Linode, allowing you to make your Linode Object Storage available to your users as Files.com folders. Linode Object Storage is S3-compatible Object Storage that makes it easy and more affordable to manage unstructured data such as content assets, as well as sophisticated and data-intensive storage challenges around artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Akamai Linode integration at Files.com

With Files.com, Linode Object Storage can be connected as a Remote Server Mount, making the Linode storage content available in real time, or connected as a Remote Server Sync, allowing you to push, pull, or synchronize files between Linode storage and other Files.com storage locations.

Integrating Files.com with Akamai Linode allows your users to access Linode storage through Files.com, using a web browser, SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, the Files.com Desktop App, or the Files.com Command Line (CLI) App.

Files.com integrates with Akamai Linode using the Linode Object Storage APIs via HTTPS, providing secure encrypted data transmission between the two platforms.

Connecting to Akamai Linode

Create a new Remote Server in your Files.com site using the Akamai Linode server type.

You must provide the required Authentication information.

Configuration options allow you to select your preferences for the Dedicated IPs and Data Regional Routing settings for this Remote Server.

Once Akamai Linode has been added as a Remote Server, you can integrate it with Files.com as either a Remote Server Mount or Remote Server Sync.

Authentication Information

The following items are required for connecting Files.com to your Linode Object Storage bucket.

Internal name for this connection - An internal identifier to refer to this connection.

Bucket - The name of your Linode Object Storage bucket, as shown in your Linode web portal > Object Storage > Buckets page.

Akamai Linode region - The region of your Linode Object Storage bucket. The region is shown in your Linode web portal > Object Storage > Buckets page.

Access Key - The Linode Object Storage Access Key, as shown in your Linode web portal > Object Storage > Access Keys page.

Secret Key - The Secret Key that corresponds to the above Access Key, which was shown to you when you first created the Access Key.

Add Remote Server Mount

Remote Server Mounts are created by mounting them onto an empty folder in Files.com. This folder should not be the Root of your site, although that is supported if you need it.

Add Remote Server Sync

After creating the Remote Server, you can use it to perform Remote Syncs between your bucket and Files.com.

Automations

Folders that have been configured with either Remote Server Mount, or Remote Server Sync, to Akamai Linode can also be used with automations, allowing you to include Linode Object Storage buckets as source locations or destinations for your automations.

Case Sensitivity

Be aware of case sensitivity differences when copying, moving, or syncing files and folders between Linode Object Storage and other storage locations. Linode Object Storage is a case sensitive system whereas other systems may not be. This can cause files to be overwritten, and folders to have their contents merged, if their case insensitive names are a match.
