Anyway to make an entire AWS S3 Directory Public

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

a bit off topic...but seriously, couldn't google this...everything returned the same stupid "do it file by file" result.

but how the hell do you make an entire AWS S3 directory public...

Don't know but if I had to guess they've made it increasingly difficult because of people accidentally exposing confidential data, plus the fact that AWS charges for outbound traffic, so a wide open share could potentially stick you with a large surprise bill if some bot attached itself to a request loop for some of the files, etc. Could you use Box instead?

Nope, these are for publically available resource files. (i.e., PDF files).

Know of any good resources for this that might also provide things like velocity control?

Since I am not an AWS user is a Directory and Bucket the same thing?

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

sort of ... a bucket is more like a 'sub-domain' though. im going to look for a replacement. S3 is a hot mess. they even have the old school recaptcha that *I* fail at least half the time.

Hey Bruce, I know this is an old post but I've got a current question - did you get something set up? I have a site that has "tons" of PDFs that need to be linked to products and/or a library. They would also like to host images "offsite". Did you come up with a solution?

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

sorry no. just had a worker bee manually change all 340 pdf files (even asked my son who's a research scientist for Microsoft's cloud computing group--he gave up too)
