I used "s3cmd" under ubuntu to create a new bucket, then upload a jpeg to it:
Configure s3cmd to use your Amazon S3 account: s3cmd --configure Make a new bucket:<bucket> s3cmd mb s3:// Upload a jpeg to the bucket: s3cmd -P --mime-type=image/jpeg put picture.jpg s3://<bucket> The URL for the file: http://<bucket>.s3.amazonaws.com/picture.jpg
