Uploading data

- When uploading or downloading files, a transfer window appears.
Changing permissions
Cyberduck can be used to update your bucket permissions.
The example below shows how to adjust your bucket's permissions, but the steps are exactly the same to change an object's permissions.
You can only change object permissions directly if your bucket is still on the DreamObjects US-East 1 cluster. It is advised to keep public objects in a bucket that is public, and private objects in a bucket that is also private.
- Connect Cyberduck to your bucket. A list of your buckets displays.
- Click the bucket name.
- Open the bucket's permissions.
Mac — Click the bucket and then click the gear icon. From the dropdown, choose Info. This opens a pop-up box.
Windows — Click the bucket and then click the Get Info button. This opens a pop-up box.
- In the pop-up box, click the dropdown icon on the bottom left.
- From that dropdown, choose Everyone.
- A new Grantee is listed:
- To the right of the 'Everyone' Grantee, click the box.
- Within this box, choose 'READ'.
