s3 cli

Command line utility frontend to node-s3-client. Inspired by s3cmd and attempts to be a drop-in replacement.

Features

• Compatible with s3cmd's config file
• Supports a subset of s3cmd's commands and parameters
  • including put, get, del, ls, sync, cp, mv
• When syncing directories, instead of uploading one file at a time, it uploads many files in parallel resulting in more bandwidth.
• Uses multipart uploads for large files and uploads each part in parallel.
• Retries on failure.

Install

sudo npm install -g s3-cli

Configuration

s3-cli is compatible with s3cmd's config file, so if you already have that configured, you're all set. Otherwise you can put this in ~/.s3cfg:

[default]
access_key = foo
secret_key = bar

You can also point it to another config file with e.g. $ s3-cli --config /path/to/s3cmd.conf.

Documentation

put

Uploads a file to S3. Assumes the target filename to be the same as the source filename (if none specified)

Example:

s3-cli put /path/to/file s3://bucket/key/on/s3
s3-cli put /path/to/source-file s3://bucket/target-file

Options:

• --acl-public or -P - Store objects with ACL allowing read for anyone.
• --default-mime-type - Default MIME-type for stored objects. Application default is binary/octet-stream.
• --no-guess-mime-type - Don't guess MIME-type and use the default type instead.
• --add-header=NAME:VALUE - Add a given HTTP header to the upload request. Can be used multiple times. For instance set 'Expires' or 'Cache-Control' headers (or both) using this options if you like.
