Details about issue

I've a s3 bucket and I'm used to use it on ec2. Now I want to mount this bucket onto my mac. The mounting process is good and I can read all the files. However, it looks like I do not have the permissions to write existed files. Any thoughts to fix that?

Does the user policy for the AWS credentials you used during s3fs setup include the PutObject action? You can check by visiting IAM in AWS console, then looking at the policies on your user account. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/writing-iam-policies-how-to-grant-access-to-an-amazon-s3-bucket/

@zijwang
If your objects do not have any meta header(x-amz-meta-*), you can see the object like following.

---------- 1 root root 1225 Mar 19 18:59 test_file
d--------- 1 root root    0 Mar 19 19:00 test_dir

s3fs needs meta header for all object, but if there is no meta information for the obejct, it looks like no permission.
To solve this, you can set meta header to all object.
Or you can use umask/mp_umask/uid/gid option for s3fs.

Regards,
