Sorry to disappoint, but you smell a Mac addict.

Anyway - S3 doesn't work that way. There is no "directory structure" or
"tree" to browse. S3 manages data via ID keys - those keys can have slashes
in them allowing you to access them via a URL that _looks like_ a directory
structure. For example, you can download:

http://s3.amazonaws.com/maven/com/amazonaws/s3/jets3t/jets3t/0.5.0/jets3t-0.5.0.pom

But that URL only contains two bits of information from S3's PoV: the
"bucket" (maven) and the "key" (com/amazonaws/s3/jets3t/jets3t/0.5.0/jets3t-
0.5.0.pom). You can't browse fractions of a key (check out
http://s3.amazonaws.com/maven/com/amazonaws/s3 - you won't see a directory
containing "jets3" - S3 just thinks you gave it an incomplete key).
