There is no such stuff as folders in Amazon S3. It is a "flat" file system. The closer you can get to folders is adding prefixes like foo/bar/filename.txt to your file names. Even though several S3 tools will show you stuff as if they were contained inside folders, this concept does not exist on S3.
