Creating a Pre-Signed URL
You can create a pre-signed URL that enables an object to be accessible through the Internet. Any user to whom you send the pre-signed URL can access the object for the time you specify.
|
When using a pre-signed URL, the user you send the URL to does not need any permission or authentication to download your object. |
A pre-sign URL is also required when copying an OUTSCALE machine image (OMI) between accounts located in different Regions. For more information, see Copying an OMI Across Regions.
