RemoteFileSystem

Bases: WritableFileSystem, WritableDeploymentStorage

Store data as a file on a remote file system.

Supports any remote file system supported by fsspec. The file system is specified using a protocol. For example, "s3://my-bucket/my-folder/" will use S3.

Example

Load stored remote file system config:

from prefect.filesystems import RemoteFileSystem

remote_file_system_block = RemoteFileSystem.load("BLOCK_NAME")
