Updating permissions for Amazon S3 files that were downloaded through JungleDisk

I'm starting to use Jungle Disk to upload files to an Amazon S3 bucket that matches the Cloudfront distribution. that is, I can access it via the http: // URL, and I use Amazon as a CDN.

The problem I am facing is that the Jungle Disk does not set read permissions for files, so when I go to the corresponding URL in the browser, I get an Amazon error 'AccessDenied'. If I use the BucketExplorer tool to set the ACL, then this URL now returns 200.

I really like the ease of dragging and dropping files onto a network drive. JungleDisk is the best program I have found to do this reliably, without tripping over myself or being embarrassed. However, it does not seem to have the ability to make files readable.

I really don’t want me to have to go to another tool (especially if I need to buy it) to just change the permissions - and this is still very slow, because they tend to cross the entire directory structure.

JungleDisk provides some kind of "web access", but this is a paid feature, and I'm not sure if it will work or not.

S3 doesn't seem to be distributing permissions, which is a real pain.

I am considering creating a hand tool to move my tree and set everything to “read,” but I would rather not do it if this is a problem that someone else has solved.

Disclaimer: I am the developer of this tool, but I think it can answer your question.

If you are on Windows, you can use the Amazon S3 CloudBerry Explorer client. It supports most of the features of Amazon S3 and CloudFront and is free.

If you need a reliable cross-platform permission tool, you can check out CrossFTP Pro . It also supports most of the features of Amazon S3 and CloudFront.
