Amazon S3 viewing files

Question

Hi I have recently set up an amazon s3 account for a personal project. I have successfully uploaded some image(jpg) files and have set the ACL for the bucket to public however when trying to view a file via the browser, the following xml is returned instead of the jpg.

<Error>
<Code>AccessDenied</Code>
<Message>Access Denied</Message>
<RequestId>77293A7937279B15</RequestId>

</HostId>
</Error>

Am I missing something here? Do I need to set up a distribution, or should I be able to access the files regardless? Any hints much appreciated.

Answer 1

You need to set the ACP of the resource (object) to anonymous ("public"), as well.

Note that this is not a programming question. If you need S3 support, check out the Amazon S3 forum.

Answer 2

CloudBerry Explorer freeware Amazon S3 client will allow you to configure your bucket in such a way that every newly copied file will get public ACL automatically.
