I just started using the AWS S3 and CloudFront. What proper client tools are out there that I can use to manage my account? Like uploading files etc. Yes I am a developer, but, I am pressed for time, I just want to deploy my apps.
I came across this one S3 Browser. It's almost what I am looking for.
EDIT ~ Is it possible to map a bucket as a windows Drive?
I use the S3 Organizer plugin for FireFox to manage S3 as well as ElasticFox to manage my AWS instances.
I use CloudBerry FreeWare. Easy to use, just like FTP software.

Jeff Atwood mentioned S3Fox Organizer on his CodingHorror blog.
Saif, thanks for using our product S3 Browser. If you think some important features are missed in S3 Browser, feel free to suggest ;) we will be happy to know.
We're also launching our new product - TntDrive - http://tntdrive.com - that will allow you to mount Amazon S3 Buckets as regular windows drive.
Best Regards, S3 Browser Team.
In fact you don't need anthing to install at all. You can manage your files online from your browser wherever you are using S3fm ( http://www.s3fm.com/ ), free web based Amazon S3 file manager.
It's an Ajax app, not a hosted solution so you don't actually share your credentials with anyone.
I use CrossFTP Pro to handle Amazon S3 and CloudFront on the Mac, Linux, and Windows. It can handle the HTTP header metadata and log settings as well.
I like Cloudberry Explorer too, but had to use Bucket Explorer to create multiple distributions per bucket. I probably missed how, but couldn't figure out how to do that with the other tools.
