[Help Needed] Using CDN to serve images to optimize website.

[Bewitching]

My Hosting company offers CDN services, the same company I use to host my website.

I need just a bit of help with understanding how to set it up properly.

I have a bucket, it's set to public.
Do I download the "img" folder via ftp to my computer, and then upload it to my bucket?
(I'll be using CyberDuck to upload the files to my bucket).

And then enter the server name of my bucket on the backend of my store under media servers?

 

Do I leave the original "img" folder where it is? How do I update the bucket if I add new images to products?

 

Is there a way to sync my original "img" folder on my host server to my bucket so my bucket is updated when the original "img" folder has new images added to it?

I'm just confused and want to do it right the first time and not mess it all up

OK I figured out the whole CDN thing on my own, and have my img, theme, and module folders in my bucket.

 

NOW, what permissions do I use for those files and folders in my bucket. It it Public/READ across everything?

Am I endangering my site by having all those files with READ permissions?

Thanks!

Hi, 

 

Can you post here your solution? "How do I update the bucket if I add new images to products?"   

 

Thanks!
