I am trying to use EC2 to zip up some files that are stored in an S3 bucket. I have gotten as far as successfully getting SWFUpload to work with PHP and upload the files to S3. I read that the best way to zip up S3 files without incurring huge transfer costs is to use EC2 to deal with S3. After a lot of effort I managed to get a EC2 server running and SSH into it, but now I don't know what to do from here.What's the best way to zip S3 files and put them back in the bucket?Ideally, a user's batch upload would trigger an SQS and then I'd spin up the EC2 server once a day to zip them all and hand them back to S3 for downloading. No idea where to go from here. Ideas?
