Add some instructions of how to prevent storage of artifcats on TeamCity server

[Kentzo]

We'd like to store all artifacts on S3 rather than our TeamCity server. Is that possible?

[mikael0hlsson]

That would be great for us also.

Sorry, we haven't needed to do this, so I'm not sure what a good approach would be.

Perhaps mounting the artifacts in s3 is an option?

@DogBrain Mounting s3 did not work for me properly a few months ago. I wonder if you can make it work now though :)

I'm sorry, I'm a newbie in TC. Could you please share with me some manuals how actually use S3 plugin? Here on Github I can only found installation manual.
In TeamCity I can see S3 option in Administration menu where I can add credentials and buckets information. But I don't know how to add build step for uploading artifact to S3 bucket.

I am also a newb. I am having a similar issue where I can not figure out how to use S3 as a build step.
Second issue I am having is I don't see anything in Administration menu regarding S3 like many of the comments say. Hoping for some insight.

Any artifacts reported to Teamcity are uploaded to the bucket specified.

https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD9/Build+Script+Interaction+with+TeamCity#BuildScriptInteractionwithTeamCity-PublishingArtifactswhiletheBuildisStillinProgress

provides one method of reporting an artifacts location to Teamcity. Alternatively you can manually specify them in the build configuration.

@IanBlackbeard if you can't see S3 in the 'Server Administration' section of the admin page, then the plugin is not successfully installed.

Note that even though Teamcity lets you upload plugins through the UI, you need to restart the server for them to become usable.
