I see there is an AWS::S3::S3Object.rename but I can't do it with folders:
AWS::S3::Base.establish_connection!(
:access_key_id => APP_CONFIG[:s3_access_key_id],
:secret_access_key => APP_CONFIG[:s3_secret_access_key]
)
AWS::S3::S3Object.rename(
"assets/old_name_folder",
"assets/new_name_folder",
APP_CONFIG[:s3_bucket]
)
The old_name_folder contains files and folders and I want the renaming to respect this.
I'm obtaining: AWS::S3::NoSuchKey (The specified key does not exist.)
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or it is just not possible to rename s3 folders.

All you have to do is to select a file or folder you want to rename and click on the “Rename” button on the toolbar.
There is no direct method to rename the file in s3. what do you have to do is copy the existing file with new name (Just set the target key) and delete the old one.
There is no direct method to rename a file or folder in Amazon S3. But we can perform a little bit edge around. What you have to do is to create a new “folder” in S3 and then move all of the files from that “folder” to the new “folder.” Once all files are moved, we can remove the source “folder.”
The documentation for AWS::S3 explains this pretty well. When storing files on s3, there are no such things as folders. There is a bucket (your APP_CONFIG[:s3_bucket] presumably), and there are objects. That is it. There are no folders. One of your objects might be named /files/public/system/whatever/derp.jpg - but there are no folders there, only an object with a name that looks like a path, and then the value of the object (the actual file residing at that location).
So to answer your question, you cannot rename folders because there is no such thing on s3. You have to rename individual objects.
