DESCRIPTION

This program gives a command line interface to Amazons s3 storage service. It does not limit the number of requests (which may cost you more money than if you did it a different way!) and each request costs Money (although some costs from EC2 may be $0.0, check latest from Amazon costs page) - we take NO reponsibility for your bill.

COMMANDS

buckets

s3cl buckets

List all buckets for this account.

ls

s3cl ls <bucket>:[prefix]

List contents of a bucket, the optional prefix can be partial, in which case all keys matching this as the start of the key name will be returned. If no prefix is supplied all keys of the bucket will be returned.

cp

s3cl cp <bucket>:<key> target_file

s3cl cp <bucket>:<key> target_directory

Copy a single key from the bucket to the target file, or into the target_directory.

sync

s3cl sync <bucket>:[prefix] target_dir

Downloads all files matching the prefix into a directory structure replicating that of the prefix and all 'sub-directories'. It will download ALL files - even if already on your local disk:

#  data transferred between Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3-Europe,  
#  which will be charged at regular rates.

rm

Remove a key(file) from the bucket, removing a non-existent file is not classed as an error. Once removed the key (file) can not be restored - so use with care!
