Hi Roberto, I think you would need to as Akhil said. Just checked from this page:
http://aws.amazon.com/public-data-sets/ and clicking through to a few dataset links, all of them are available on s3 (some are available via http and ftp, but I think the point of these datasets are that they are usually very large so having it on s3 ensures that its easier to take your code to it than bring the datasets to your code. -sujit On Tue, Jul 14, 2015 at 1:56 PM, Pagliari, Roberto <rpagli...@appcomsci.com> wrote: > Hi Sujit, > > I just wanted to access public datasets on Amazon.
