Hi - I’m wondering if anyone has tried to read a filegeodb straight from s3 with a featurereader.  The S3 connector documentation implies this might be possible - but I could not get it to work.  I had to have the gdb directory local on my machine for it to work.  Has anyone else run into this?  It would be cool if it did work, since I don’t like having these file geodbs local.  I can work around it if not.

You can use the TempPathnameCreator to create a temporary directory that only exists for the duration of the FME process (it gets deleted once the workbench has run).

Use this to specify the location the S3Connector downloads to and the FeatureReader reads from

+1 for the suggestion from @hkingsbury that’s my preferred way of doing it.
