I'm looking for a decent S3 bucket manager for Ubuntu (Gnome). I prefer it to integrate with Nautilus so it will look like just any other drive (a la WebDAV) but so far I haven't been able to find anything that I'd like to use on a daily basis.

What bucket managers do you use for Ubuntu or what bucket manager would you recommend?

UPDATE:

S3FS seems to be what I'd really want to use since it lets me integrate my buckets directly into my file-system. However, when trying S3FS I do not get the impression that it's ready for prime time.

I'm stunned by the fact that there are no decent bucket managers out there for Ubuntu/Gnome, guess I have to build it myself...

Why a seperate file manager when there is s3fs, which makes it possible to mount S3 buckets via fuse? See http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/wiki/FuseOverAmazon for installation instructions. That way you won't notice any difference between local files and your S3 bucket in nautilus.

I've looked at this in the past and couldn't get it to work back then. If it would work it would be totally what I'm looking for. – Luke Aug 12 '09 at 20:48
Maybe you should ask a question like "Why doesn't s3fs work?" ;) – Kim Aug 13 '09 at 7:55
@Kim: Maybe. I was wondering if there where other 'decent' S3 managers available for Ubuntu before trying s3fs again. Guess not.... – Luke Aug 13 '09 at 12:12
Why isn't s3fs in Ubuntu repos? – eduardocereto Jun 22 '11 at 18:45
@Kim it looks like this hasn't made it into the Ubuntu packages. There is an old project for the Lucid distro on Launchpad. Am I to conclude from this that in the 2.5 years since your answer, something else has become more popular? – Wolfram Arnold Jan 17 at 23:53

Use s3cmd which has a sync command to transfer files either direction.
