Is there an S3 policy for limiting access to only see/access one bucket?

Question

I have a simple bucket that looks like images.mysite.com on my S3 and other buckets containing backups, etc.

I want to allow a specific user to be able to access the images.mysite.com bucket in order to upload images. However, I DO NOT want him to see any of the other buckets; not even that they exist.

I could not make a policy that does this; every time I try something restrictive, it ends up blocking the listing of any buckets.

I've been trying this for a while and finally came up with a working solution. You must use different "Resources" depending on the kind of action you're performing. Also I included some missing actions in the previous answer (like DeleteObject) and restricting some more (like PutBucketAcl).

The following IAM policy is working for me now:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:ListBucket",
        "s3:GetBucketLocation",
        "s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads"
      ],
      "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::itnighq",
      "Condition": {}
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:AbortMultipartUpload",
        "s3:DeleteObject",
        "s3:DeleteObjectVersion",
        "s3:GetObject",
        "s3:GetObjectAcl",
        "s3:GetObjectVersion",
        "s3:GetObjectVersionAcl",
        "s3:PutObject",
        "s3:PutObjectAcl",
        "s3:PutObjectVersionAcl"
      ],
      "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::itnighq/*",
      "Condition": {}
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
      "Resource": "*",
      "Condition": {}
    }
  ]
}

The actions regarding a bucket and those regarding objects must have different arn.
