I can push some content to an S3 bucket with my credentials through S3cmd tool with s3cmd put contentfile S3://test_bucket/test_file
I am required to download the content from this bucket in other computers that don't have s3cmd installed on them, BUT they have wget installed.
when I try to download some content from my bucket with wget I get this:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/test_bucket/test_file
--2013-08-14 18:17:40-- `https`://s3.amazonaws.com/test_bucket/test_file
Resolving s3.amazonaws.com (s3.amazonaws.com)... [ip_here]

`2013`-08-14 18:17:40 ERROR 403: Forbidden.
I have manually made this bucket public through the Amazon AWS web console.
How can I download content from an S3 bucket with wget into a local txt file?
Got it ... If you upload a file in an S3 bucket with S3CMD with the --acl public flag then one shall be able to download the file from S3 with wget easily ...
Conclusion: In order to download with wget, first of one needs to upload the content in S3 with s3cmd put --acl public --guess-mime-type <test_file> s3://test_bucket/test_file
alternatively you can try:
s3cmd setacl --acl-public --guess-mime-type s3://test_bucket/test_file
notice the setacl flag above. THAT WILL set the file in s3 accessible publicly
then you can execute the wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/test_bucket/test_file
