ASW S3 what permissions are needed to make file downloadable via cloudfront


I wonder what EXACT permissions are need to be set for files and foldres to be downloadable via cloud front.

1) I create a S3 Bucket 2) Create cloudfront distribution with origin of created S3 Bucket (there is not questions about it)

3) I create a folder in Bucket "Folder1" 4) I upload files to created Folder

Question: 1) What should I make with "Folder1" and containing files to make them available for download via cloudfront distribution.

My assumtion: On "Folder1" via menu I should chose "make public" (actually I don't understand fully what is "Make Public" means, would be grateful if someone explains) And on EACH file I should add permission: Everyone Open\Download.

Didn't find it in docs (


Solution

  • Make public means that your files are accessible publicly. For doing you have to give Read permission to public user.
