S32cli

Currently this repo only contains a single file, which helps make it easy to upload/sync files to Amazon s3.

Dependencies

1. python-boto

Configuration

You can specify the s3 keyid and secret in three different ways:

1. Boto config file

Standard ~/.boto config, for example:

[Credentials]
aws_access_key_id = my-secret-key-id
aws_secret_access_key = my-secret-access-key

2. Environment variables

Set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables.

3. Command line args

Specify -k and -a command line options. (Note that these option will be visible to any other users on your system via the process table).

Usage

The typical use case for this script is to backup a directory to s3. So let's say we have a directory /foo which we want to backup to a bucket named foo.bucket:

# Dry run
./scripts/backup2s3 -b foo.bucket -s /foo -d foo -n

# For realz
./scripts/backup2s3 -b foo.bucket -s /foo -d foo

If you're not using ~/.boto for configuration you'll either need to use the cli args or the environment variables (see above).
