S3: make a public folder private again?

Question

How do you make an AWS S3 public folder private again?

I was testing out some staging data, so I made the entire folder public within a bucket. I\'d like to restrict it

Answer 1

As of now, according to the boto docs you can do it this way

#!/usr/bin/env python
#remove public read right for all keys within a directory

#usage: remove_public.py bucketName folderName

import sys
import boto

bucketname = sys.argv[1]
dirname = sys.argv[2]
s3 = boto.connect_s3()
bucket = s3.get_bucket(bucketname)

keys = bucket.list(dirname)

for k in keys:
    # options are 'private', 'public-read'
    # 'public-read-write', 'authenticated-read'
    k.set_acl('private') 

Also, you may consider to remove any bucket policies under permissions tab of s3 bucket.
