What client tools are available to manage Amazon S3 and CloudFront?

Question

I just started using the Amazon S3 and Amazon 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?

Solution 1

I use CloudBerry FreeWare. Easy to use, just like FTP software.

Jeff Atwood mentioned S3Fox Organizer on his CodingHorror blog.

Solution 2

Cyberduck for Mac & Windows supports the full feature set of both S3 and Cloudfront distributions including custom origins. See http://trac.cyberduck.ch/wiki/help/en/howto/s3.

Solution 3

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.

Solution 4

While several of the mentioned client tools offer useful advanced features and/or a different approach to usability still, you can nowadays achieve most goals immediately and conveniently by means of Amazon's very own AWS Management Console, which allows you to Access and manage Amazon’s growing suite of infrastructure web services through a simple and intuitive, web-based user interface.

Obviously the best way to check it out is to simply explore it yourself, but the following resources allow a sneak peek:

• Amazon S3 Features and the introduction AWS Management Console Now Supports Amazon S3 as well as New S3 Features for The AWS Management Console
• Amazon CloudFront Features (includes a screencast) and the introduction AWS Management Console Support for CloudFront as well as Improved CloudFront Support in the AWS Management Console

Solution 5

I use the S3 Organizer plugin for FireFox to manage S3 as well as ElasticFox to manage my AWS instances.

+1 for CloudBerry. Even allows you to Set HTTP Headers for files easily. S3 Organizer lacks this feature.

Cyberduck is not free for Mac though. =(

Downloaded current version 4.7.2 And it looks it is free for Mac users: This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

The CloudBerry app is rock solid for accessing S3 on Windows 10. I'm using it right now to back up a ton of 4k video clips I have saved in an S3 bucket to an external hard drive I have connected to my Windows 10 pc. It's running super smooth and their interface is excellent. Just create a new User under IAM called like CloudBerry and attach a new group to the user with just full S3 access and paste the Access Key and Secret Access Key into the CloudBerry app and then boom it can see all your S3 buckets and you just click the one you wanna access! Thanks man!

I literally couldn't figure out how to download CyberDuck on their website (lame) so I just gave up and downloaded CloudBerry from the other answer. CloudBerry works like a charm!

cloudberry url just goes to their main page now and no longer a product called freeware?

[Alex Sorokoletov]

s3fox.net is down

[Matt Rice]

S3fm.com no longer looks to be a functional web app - it currently appears to be an unregistered domain.

Cloudberry url as of 5-16-2019: cloudberrylab.com/explorer/amazon-s3.aspx

All you literally need to do is just click on the download button on the front page which will lead to this page I hope you can take it from there

I wrote one myself, apparently fully freeware microsoft.com/en-gb/p/storamp/…
