Answer
There are two main ways to make data in SDSC Cloud available for download through the internet to users who cannot log into SDSC Cloud:
Static websites share all objects in a container to the internet. See the guide at https://sdsc-ucsd.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SC/pages/110034985/Swift+Python+Script#%7C-staticStatic-Websites.
TempURL lets users share individual objects with expiration and security options. See the guide at https://sdsc-ucsd.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SC/pages/110034985/Swift+Python+Script#%7C-TempURLTempURL.
