Deploying to an Amazon S3 bucket#

So, I currently have a public folder, reachable at http://s3.amazonaws.com/PublicFolderName. (I wonder if I should change the name of that folder to something that's not my name?)

The folder isn't browsable, but stuff in it is publicly viewable, so it's just a matter of uploading to the folder and linking to the right URL.

Uploading#

The AWS console has an "Upload" function, but is there a command-line tool I can use?

Why, yes, there does indeed appear to be! http://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/latest/userguide/pstools-welcome.html

(More later, I hope.)

...

Ok, now it's later, but I can't figure this out using the PowerShell tools. I'll have to try again later, from my Linux machine. Tools are available here: https://aws.amazon.com/cli/.

Ok, now it's a whole day later, but I've figured it out.

Install the AWS Linux tools.

aws config

Enter your data. You can use an Amazon IAM user. I'd select output format of "text" (default is "json").

(IAM is Identity and Access Management).

After that, cd to your source directory and knock yourself out:

    for f in gradient-data.js gradient-editor.html gradient-editor.css; do
      aws s3 cp $f s3://JohnLuskPublic/GradientEditorWeb/$f
    done
