Illustrates how to upload multiple files to Amazon S3 using:

• An HTML file input tag
• Python
• Flask
• Boto

To run this program, you'll need:

• Python 2.7 (Boto doesn't work with 3.3
• Flask (I used pip install flask to get the latest version)
• Boto (A Python interface to Amazon Web Services)
• An AWS account

You'll need an AWS bucket and AWS user with appropriate permissions.

1. In S3, create a bucket. We'll assume it's named mybucket.
2. Go to the bucket's properties and expand Permissions.
3. Add a new grantee, selecting Authenticated Users and checking the box for Upload/Delete.
4. In IAM, add a user. From the Permissions tab, attach a User Policy, similar to this one (your Sid will be different):
   

"Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "Stmt1396533377000",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:ListBucket",
        "s3:DeleteObject",
        "s3:PutObject"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::mybucket"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

From the *Security Credentials" tab, create an Access Key. Take note of the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. Set the following environment variables:

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=[your Access Key ID]
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=[your Secret Access Key]

Now use Python 2.7 to launch test.py. In your web browser, visit http://localhost:8080. Select some files and click *Submit. The files should appear in your S3 bucket!
