mc anonymous links

Syntax

The mc anonymous links retrieves the HTTP URL for anonymous (i.e. unauthenticated or public) access to a bucket.

Buckets with anonymous policies allow clients to access the bucket contents and perform actions consistent with the specified policy without authentication.

The following command retrieves HTTP URLs for the mydata bucket on the myminio MinIO deployment:

mc anonymous links --recursive myminio/mydata

The command has the following syntax:

mc [GLOBALFLAGS] policy links   \
                 [--recursive]  \
                 ALIAS
  • Brackets [] indicate optional parameters.
  • Parameters sharing a line are mutually dependent.
  • Parameters separated using the pipe | operator are mutually exclusive.

Copy the example to a text editor and modify as-needed before running the command in the terminal/shell.

Parameters

ALIAS

mc-cmd

Required The full path to the bucket or bucket prefix for which the command retrieves the anonymous bucket policies.

Specify the alias of the MinIO or other S3-compatible service and the full path to the bucket or bucket prefix. For example:

mc anonymous links public [FLAGS] play/mybucket
--recursive

mc-cmd

Optional Retrieve the HTTP links recursively.

Global Flags

This command supports any of the global flags.

Examples

List Anonymous Policies for Bucket

Use mc anonymous links to links the anonymous policies for a bucket:

mc anonymous links ALIAS/PATH
  • Replace ALIAS with the alias of a configured S3-compatible host.
  • Replace PATH with the destination bucket.

Behavior

S3 Compatibility

SILO is the supported server for PGSTY mcli; compatibility with upstream MinIO and other S3 services is best effort.
