How to format a URL to get a file from Amazon S3

Question

I am having some trouble figuring out how to access a file from Amazon S3  Lets say that the bucket that the file lives in is BUCKET NAME  the file is FILE NAME  etc  I have tried the following two URLs   https   s3 amazonaws com BUCKET NAME FILE NAME   Expires EXPIRATION  amp Signature SIGNATURE  amp SignatureVersion 2  amp SignatureMethod HmacSHA1  amp AWSAccessKeyId KEYID   But this gives me the following error     lt Code gt NoSuchKey lt  Code gt   lt Message gt The specified key does not exist  lt  Message gt    I have also tried   https   s3 amazonaws com BUCKET NAME   Key FILE NAME  amp Expires EXPIRATION  amp Signature SIGNATURE  amp SignatureVersion 2  amp SignatureMethod HmacSHA1  amp AWSAccessKeyId KEYID   but this returns a webpage with a list of all of the files in the given bucket  including FILE NAME   instead of the specific file I want  I have also tried throwing in Action GetObject into the URL as well but that doesn t seem to change anything    It would be helpful to find out which  if any  is the proper method and what I am doing wrong  I have been digging through Amazon s documentation for a while now but I can t seem to sort it out

Perhaps not what the OP was after  but for those searching the URL to simply access a readable object on S3 is more like   https    lt region gt  amazonaws com  lt bucket-name gt   lt key gt   Where  lt region gt  is something like s3-ap-southeast-2   Click on the item in the S3 GUI to get the link for your bucket

As  stevebot said  do this   https    lt bucket-name gt  s3 amazonaws com  lt key gt   The one important thing I would like to add is that you either have to make your bucket objects all publicly accessible OR you can add a custom policy to your bucket policy  That custom policy could allow traffic from your network IP range or a different credential

Documentation here  and I ll use the Frankfurt region as an example   There are 2 different URL styles    Virtual host style  https   BUCKET s3 amazonaws com FILE Path style  https   s3 eu-central-1 amazonaws com BUCKET FILE   But this url does not work    https   s3 amazonaws com BUCKET FILE   The message is explicit  The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint  Please send all future requests to this endpoint   I may be talking about another problem because I m not getting NoSuchKey error but I suspect the error message has been made clearer over time
