We have a case where a SVM is configured with CIFS and S3 protocols on same lifs .

A volume NTFS is created and a share is attached to it ; access to the share is granted ( no issues here ) .

A bucket header is attached to the NTFS volume ; rights are given to this bucket :

GetObject, PutObject, DeleteObject, ListBucket,PutBucketPolicy, DeleteBucketPolicy

One S3 user is attatched to a group and the policy FullAccess ;
With this user ( key + secret ) i can connect using CloudBerry Explorer ( using signature v2 ) and copy files and folders .

The problem is with rename the files . it does not allow it .

Is this a known limitation ?

Other issues are similar to this thread : https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Empty-Folder-on-Delete-with-ONTAP-S3-multiprotocol/m-p/458178

removing empty folders is an issue ...

Empty Folder on Delete with ONTAP S3 multiprotocol

I have bucket named xyz, inside which there are following objects a/b/obj1.doc a/b/obj2.doc a/b/c/obj3.doc a/b/c/obj4.doc On deleting all the above 4 objects, folders a, b and c are not deleted and they are empty Why are the folders not deleted when there are no objects?

i was able to rename files with aws cli ... the only thing that remains is to delete empty folders in the bucket ...

for some reason the command aws s3 rm s3://cifstest2/test1 --recursive --endpoint-url https://s3m.nhc.local --no-verify-ssl does not remove the folder ; if i put files in the folder it will remove everything but the empty folder
