Tracking a multipart upload with the AWS SDKs - Amazon Simple Storage Service

You can track an object's upload progress to Amazon S3 with a listen interface. The high-level multipart upload API provides such a listen interface, called ProgressListener. Progress events occur periodically and notify the listener that bytes have been transferred. For more general information about multipart uploads, see Uploading and copying objects using multipart upload in Amazon S3.

For an end-to-end procedure on uploading an object with multipart upload with an additional checksum, see Tutorial: Upload an object through multipart upload and verify its data integrity.

The following section show how to track a multipart upload with the AWS SDKs.

Java
TransferManager tm = new TransferManager(new ProfileCredentialsProvider());        

PutObjectRequest request = new PutObjectRequest(
  		existingBucketName, keyName, new File(filePath));

// Subscribe to the event and provide event handler.        
request.setProgressListener(new ProgressListener() {
			public void progressChanged(ProgressEvent event) {
				System.out.println("Transferred bytes: " + 
						event.getBytesTransfered());
             }
});
Example

The following Java code uploads a file and uses the ProgressListener to track the upload progress. For instructions on how to create and test a working sample, see Getting Started in the AWS SDK for Java Developer Guide. 

import java.io.File;

import com.amazonaws.AmazonClientException;
import com.amazonaws.auth.profile.ProfileCredentialsProvider;
import com.amazonaws.event.ProgressEvent;
import com.amazonaws.event.ProgressListener;
import com.amazonaws.services.s3.model.PutObjectRequest;
import com.amazonaws.services.s3.transfer.TransferManager;
import com.amazonaws.services.s3.transfer.Upload;

public class TrackMPUProgressUsingHighLevelAPI {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String existingBucketName = "*** Provide bucket name ***";
        String keyName            = "*** Provide object key ***";
        String filePath           = "*** file to upload ***";  
        
        TransferManager tm = new TransferManager(new ProfileCredentialsProvider());        

        // For more advanced uploads, you can create a request object 
        // and supply additional request parameters (ex: progress listeners,
        // canned ACLs, etc.)
        PutObjectRequest request = new PutObjectRequest(
        		existingBucketName, keyName, new File(filePath));
        
        // You can ask the upload for its progress, or you can 
        // add a ProgressListener to your request to receive notifications 
        // when bytes are transferred.
        request.setGeneralProgressListener(new ProgressListener() {
			@Override
			public void progressChanged(ProgressEvent progressEvent) {
				System.out.println("Transferred bytes: " + 
						progressEvent.getBytesTransferred());
			}
		});

        // TransferManager processes all transfers asynchronously, 
        // so this call will return immediately.
        Upload upload = tm.upload(request);
        
        try {
        	// You can block and wait for the upload to finish
        	upload.waitForCompletion();
        } catch (AmazonClientException amazonClientException) {
        	System.out.println("Unable to upload file, upload aborted.");
        	amazonClientException.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
.NET

The following C# example uploads a file to an S3 bucket using the TransferUtility class, and tracks the progress of the upload. For information about setting up and running the code examples, see Getting Started with the AWS SDK for .NET in the AWS SDK for .NET Developer Guide.
