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

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?

Answer 1

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

Jeff Atwood mentioned S3Fox Organizer on his CodingHorror blog.

Answer 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.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

I like Cloudberry Explorer too, but had to use Bucket Explorer to create multiple distributions per bucket. I probably missed how, but couldn't figure out how to do that with the other tools.

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

In fact you don't need anthing to install at all. You can manage your files online from your browser wherever you are using S3fm ( http://www.s3fm.com/ ), free web based Amazon S3 file manager.

It's an Ajax app, not a hosted solution so you don't actually share your credentials with anyone.
