Assuming you have the AWS CLI installed, and if you are using Amazon Linux, it is installed by default, this is how you can copy a directory to S3 with public read permissions set.
aws s3 cp build s3://blog.brng.us/ --recursive --grants read=uri=http://acs.amazonaws.com/groups/global/AllUsersThis is useful for my Obelisk blog which creates static html files from markdown. The docs for aws cp can be found here
