Net::Amazon::S3::Tools3pm

Command line tools for amazon s3

Usage

  s3acl [options] [[bucket|bucket/key] ...]
  s3ls [options]
  s3ls [options] [ bucket/item ... ]
  s3get [options] [ bucket/item ... ]
  s3put [options] [ bucket/item ... ]
  s3mkbucket [options] [ bucket ... ]
  s3rmbucket [options] [ bucket ... ]

Options

Each of the tools have their own specific command line options, but the also all share some common command line options, which are described here.

--help

Print a brief help message and exits.

--man

Prints the manual page and exits.

--verbose

Output what is being done as it is done.

--access-key and --secret-key

Specify the "AWS Access Key Identifiers" for the AWS account. --access-key is the "Access Key ID", and --secret-key is the "Secret Access Key". These are effectively the "username" and "password" to the AWS account, and should be kept confidential.

The access keys MUST be specified, either via these command line parameters, or via the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables.

Specifying them on the command line overrides the environment variables.

--secure

Uses SSL/TLS HTTPS to communicate with the AWS service, instead of HTTP.

Overview

These S3 command line tools allow you to manipulate and populate an S3 account. Refer to the documentation (pod and man) for each of the tools.

This Net::Amazon::S3::Tools module is mostly just a stub, to hoist the bundling and installation of the executable scripts that make up the actual tools.

Bugs

Report bugs to Mark Atwood [email protected].

Occasionally the S3 service will randomly fail for no externally apparent reason. When that happens, these tools should retry, with a delay and a backoff.

Access to the S3 service can be authenticated with a X.509 certificate, instead of via the "AWS Access Key Identifiers". These tools should support that.

It might be useful to be able to specify the "AWS Access Key Identifiers" in the user's "~/.netrc" file. These tools should support that.

Errors and warnings are very "Perl-ish", and can be confusing.
