Answer 1

I recently encountered the same problem. I solved it using the command line API.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/index.html http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3/mv.html

aws s3 mv s3://BUCKETNAME/myfolder/photos/ s3://BUCKETNAME/myotherfolder/photos/ --recursive

I had a need for the objects to be publicly viewable, so I added the --acl public-read option.
