Openfount S3 Manager

I am posting from the beach to tell you about the Openfount S3 Manager.

To get this running you simply click here.

Once you do this, an invisible applet is loaded to gain access to the file system and the GUI is displayed. AT this point you need to enter your Amazon keys. After you do this you get a two-pane view -- local files on the left and your S3 buckets on the right. There's also a complete ACL manager.

Ok, I had better put the laptop away before I get caught!

This post was updated to reflect the fact that the local copy of the Java policy file is no longer needed.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the post from your vacation! I just wanted to make one comment. You don't need to install the .java.policy file anymore, since the applet is now signed from a Thawte certificate. Here is the direct link to the Openfount S3 Manager:

And FYI, the applet is invisible and is used to get the local file system information. The Ajax GUI was built with the Openfount tools (which build on the Google Web Toolkit).

Hi Jeff,

This is off topic. I was wondering if it is possible to combine Amazon Shop with another shop that offers products that do not exist at Amazon?

Thanks,
John.
