SAS SPSS and MATLAB meet S3

The challenge here is to blend SAS, SPSS and Matlab proprietary files on Amazon S3 Cloud Solution. Will they blend?
This workflow demonstrates how to set up a file structure on Amazon S3 automatically (Bucket, folder and directory) and how to access the files on S3 for further use. Finally, the last metanode enables you to delete all files once you're finished. This is good to ensure files are not unnecessarily lying around. In all cases, proprietary software is not required - just the open source KNIME Analytics Platform.
And by the way ... yes they blend!

Requirements:
Amazon S3 account
R installed on the machine
