In the beta, there was a setting somewhere which allowed you to set the default ACL for a bucket. That setting is either gone, or I am blind.

Bucket Defaults only contains an empty list of key / value pairs, so that's no help.

The Bucket ACL is not being inherited by files that are uploaded to it. I assume that the Bucket ACL should not inherit, of course.

We will make it more user friendly in the next release. There is radio button for "private" / "Public" in the Bucket Default settings. That selection is for the ACL settings. The key value pair is for default meta data that should be added to each file:

Hi,

I didn't realize I could change the default and I uploaded several hundred thousand images that need to be changed to public read access. How can I do this? Is there a way to do it en mass on all files in the bucket?

Thanks,
Jason

You can select the Bucket and change its ACL to REad ALL. During confirmation dialog, Bucket Explorer will ask if you want to change the ACL on all files. Select "yes". This should change the ACL on Bucket & All Files in that Bucket.

Once that operation is complete, then change Bucket's ACL back to private and this time, choose "no" on the confirmation dialog to update ACL of all files.

1. I am repeating this, but Remember to change the Bucket ACL back to private, as its not a good idea to keep Bucket as Public. Bucket ACL & Object ACL are independent of each other.
2. If you have several thousand files and if the ACL update process breaks after partial update (due to network connection), try it again. During the next run, It will check ACL of all files again, but will not update them if the target ACL is same as the new ACL.

I'm sorry if I am being dense, but how does setting default meta-data key/value pairs have anything to do with a default ACL?

As the other gentleman here also noted, I would like to be able to set the default on a bucket so that all files uploaded to it are automatically set to Public: Read. The beta had this option. It seems to be missing from the final release.

The radio button, which says "public" / "private" at the top is for default ACL not for meta data.

Please bear with me.

This is what the ACL editor looks like:

filestore-augustana_us_s3_amazonaws_com / ACL.png

Now, if I select my bucket, and click Default, Edit, and then click the Public radio button, this is what I see:

filestore-augustana_us_s3_amazonaws_com / Default.png

Now the only option I have here is to click the "Add" button. This is what I get:

filestore-augustana_us_s3_amazonaws_com / add.png

As you can see, there are no Default ACL settings here at all. There are only default custom headers.

So I beg your forgiveness for being slow-witted, but how, in this dialog box, am I able to set a default ACL so that files uploaded to the bucket will automatically have their All Users: Read bit set?

Sorry! Nevermind. I finally understand! Click Public, then click Save, and that sets the default ACL to be public.

I had assumed that the radio button was allowing one to set two different meta-data lists, one for files that were private, and one for files that were public.

I told you I was very dense.

I do agree that the defaut bucket interface is confusing. We will fix it soon to make it more user friendly.

BTW - I see that the Bukcet is "Read All". You don't need to set bucket as Read All for using S3 for Web hosting. Ony files in that bucket need to be read all. If you make the bucket itself as "read all", then anyone can list the contents of that bucket, which is not a good idea.
