: Is there a CDN for large files that doesn't need a manual upload? I have a MaxCDN account. I am using their pull zones and it works perfectly (they autoamtically download .css, .js etc from

@Shakeerah822

Amazon AWS service has an API: aws.amazon.com/ I don't think that there's a service that can "grab" files, but there are clients that work like FTP which you can use to upload, or, you can write a code that will automate the upload.

My only experience is with big CDN providers like Akamai and Limelight. For them, you simply setup a new CNAME to them and have the CDN point to an origin domain to automatically pull all the files when there's a cache miss.

For example, on your site you display this:

mycdnfiles.mysite.com/mybigimage.png

That domain is a CNAME to the CDN. On the CDN you specify the origin for your files which means the CDN will go here, for example, to get the content:

origin.mysite.com/mybigimage.png
