mc anonymous set

The mc anonymous set command sets anonymous (that is, unauthenticated or public) access policies for a bucket.

Buckets with anonymous policies allow clients to access the bucket contents and perform actions consistent with the specified policy without authentication.

To set anonymous bucket policies using an IAM JSON policy, use the mc anonymous set-json command.

Syntax

Example Syntax

The command has the following syntax:

mc [GLOBALFLAGS] anonymous set POLICY ALIAS

Brackets [] indicate optional parameters.
Parameters sharing a line are mutually dependent.
Parameters separated using the pipe | operator are mutually exclusive.

Copy the example to a text editor and modify as-needed before running the command in the terminal/shell.

Parameters

POLICY

Required

The policy to set for the bucket. Valid values are none, download, or upload.

ALIAS

Required

The full path to the bucket or bucket prefix for which to set the anonymous policy.

Specify the alias of the AIStor or other S3-compatible service and the full path to the bucket or bucket prefix. For example:

mc anonymous set download public play/mybucket

Global Flags

This command supports any of the global flags.

Examples

Set Anonymous Policy for Bucket

Use mc anonymous set to set the anonymous policy for a bucket:

mc anonymous set download ALIAS/PATH

Replace ALIAS with the alias of a configured S3-compatible host.
Replace PATH with the destination bucket.

Behavior

S3 Compatibility

The mc commandline tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with AIStor and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.

AIStor provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, as their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported.

While mc commands may work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.
