Make previously public files private with fog

I have uploaded files to a aws bucket using fog and carrierwave. All these files have been uploaded as public files (this is apparently default behaviour for fog)

At the moment i do not want any of these files to be public. I have applied the setting: config.fog_public = false to make the file private.

However old files that have been uploaded from before are still public. Is it possible make these private?

Solution

  • I solved this by using an app named 3Hub. With this app i could simple choose the folder and apply new permissions to all subfolders and files.

    However if you want to do this through fog/carrierwave. Checkout this https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/carrierwave/f0Icvk34Xjk

    I ended up not using this kind of approach, however it looks promising.
