Options

--man

Prints the manual page and exits.

--verbose

Print a message for each created bucket.

--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.

Environment

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET

Specify the "AWS Access Key Identifiers" for the AWS account. AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID contains the "Access Key ID", and AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET contains the "Secret Access Key". These are effectively the "username" and "password" to the AWS service, and should be kept confidential.

The access keys MUST be specified, either via these environment variables, or via the --access-key and --secret-key command line parameters.

If the command line parameters are set, they override these environment variables.

Configuration file

The configuration options will be read from the file "~/.s3-tools" if it exists. The format is the same as the command line options with one option per line. For example, the file could contain:

    --access-key <AWS access key>
    --secret-key <AWS secret key>
    --secure

This example configuration file would specify the AWS access keys and that a secure connection using HTTPS should be used for all communications.
