-What is S3cmd

-S3cmd is a free command line tool and client for uploading, 

-retrieving and managing data in Amazon S3 and other cloud 

-storage service providers that use the S3 protocol, such as 

-Google Cloud Storage or DreamHost DreamObjects. It is best 

-suited for power users who are familiar with command line 

-programs. It is also ideal for batch scripts and automated 

-backup to S3, triggered from cron, etc.

-

-S3cmd is written in Python. It's an open source project 

-available under GNU Public License v2 (GPLv2) and is free 

-for both commercial and private use. You will only have 

-to pay Amazon for using their storage.

-

-Lots of features and options have been added to S3cmd, 

-since its very first release in 2008.... we recently counted 

-more than 60 command line options, including multipart 

-uploads, encryption, incremental backup, s3 sync, ACL and 

-Metadata management, S3 bucket size, bucket policies, and 

-more!

-

-What is Amazon S3

-Amazon S3 provides a managed internet-accessible storage 

-service where anyone can store any amount of data and 

-retrieve it later again.

-

-S3 is a paid service operated by Amazon. Before storing 

-anything into S3 you must sign up for an "AWS" account 

-(where AWS = Amazon Web Services) to obtain a pair of 

-identifiers: Access Key and Secret Key. You will need to 

-give these keys to S3cmd. 

-Think of them as if they were a username and password for

-your S3 account.

-

-Amazon S3 pricing explained

-At the time of this writing the costs of using S3 are (in USD):

-

-$0.03 per GB per month of storage space used

-

-plus

-

-$0.00 per GB - all data uploaded

-

-plus

-

-$0.00 per GB - first 1GB / month data downloaded

-$0.12 per GB - up to 10 TB / month data downloaded

-$0.09 per GB - next 40 TB / month data downloaded

-$0.07 per GB - data downloaded / month over 50 TB

-

-plus

-

-$0.005 per 1,000 PUT or LIST requests

-$0.004 per 10,000 GET and all other requests

-

-If for instance on 1st of January you upload 2GB of 

-photos in JPEG from your holiday in New Zealand, at the 

-end of January you will be charged $0.06 for using 2GB of

-storage space for a month, $0.0 for uploading 2GB

-of data, and a few cents for requests. 

-That comes to slightly over $0.06 for a complete backup 

-of your precious holiday pictures.

-

-In February you don't touch it. Your data are still on S3 

-servers so you pay $0.06 for those two gigabytes, but not

-a single cent will be charged for any transfer. That comes 

-to $0.06 as an ongoing cost of your backup. Not too bad.

-

-In March you allow anonymous read access to some of your

-pictures and your friends download, say, 500MB of them. 

-As the files are owned by you, you are responsible for the 

-costs incurred. That means at the end of March you'll be 

-charged $0.06 for storage plus $0.06 for the download traffic 

-generated by your friends.

-

-There is no minimum monthly contract or a setup fee. What 

-you use is what you pay for. At the beginning my bill used

-to be like US$0.03 or even nil.

-

-That's the pricing model of Amazon S3 in a nutshell. Check

-Amazon S3 homepage at http://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/ for more 

-details.

-

-Needless to say that all these money are charged by Amazon 

-itself, there is obviously no payment for using S3cmd :-)

-

-Amazon S3 basics

-Files stored in S3 are called "objects" and their names are

-officially called "keys". Since this is sometimes confusing

-for the users we often refer to the objects as "files" or

-"remote files". Each object belongs to exactly one "bucket".

-

-To describe objects in S3 storage we invented a URI-like

-schema in the following form:

-

-    s3://BUCKET

-or

-    s3://BUCKET/OBJECT

-

-Buckets

-Buckets are sort of like directories or folders with some 

-restrictions:

-1) each user can only have 100 buckets at the most, 

-2) bucket names must be unique amongst all users of S3, 

-3) buckets can not be nested into a deeper hierarchy and 

-4) a name of a bucket can only consist of basic alphanumeric 

-   characters plus dot (.) and dash (-). No spaces, no accented

-   or UTF-8 letters, etc. 

-

-It is a good idea to use DNS-compatible bucket names. That

-for instance means you should not use upper case characters.

-While DNS compliance is not strictly required some features

-described below are not available for DNS-incompatible named

-buckets. One more step further is using a fully qualified

-domain name (FQDN) for a bucket - that has even more benefits.

-

-* For example "s3://--My-Bucket--" is not DNS compatible.

-* On the other hand "s3://my-bucket" is DNS compatible but 

-  is not FQDN.

-* Finally "s3://my-bucket.s3tools.org" is DNS compatible 

-  and FQDN provided you own the s3tools.org domain and can

-  create the domain record for "my-bucket.s3tools.org".

-

-Look for "Virtual Hosts" later in this text for more details 

-regarding FQDN named buckets.

-

-Objects (files stored in Amazon S3)

-Unlike for buckets there are almost no restrictions on object 

-names. These can be any UTF-8 strings of up to 1024 bytes long. 

-Interestingly enough the object name can contain forward

-slash character (/) thus a "my/funny/picture.jpg" is a valid

-object name. Note that there are not directories nor

-buckets called "my" and "funny" - it is really a single object 

-name called "my/funny/picture.jpg" and S3 does not care at 

-all that it _looks_ like a directory structure.

-

-The full URI of such an image could be, for example:

-

-    s3://my-bucket/my/funny/picture.jpg

-

-Public vs Private files

-The files stored in S3 can be either Private or Public. The 

-Private ones are readable only by the user who uploaded them

-while the Public ones can be read by anyone. Additionally the

-Public files can be accessed using HTTP protocol, not only

-using s3cmd or a similar tool.

-

-The ACL (Access Control List) of a file can be set at the 

-time of upload using --acl-public or --acl-private options 

-with 's3cmd put' or 's3cmd sync' commands (see below).

-

-Alternatively the ACL can be altered for existing remote files

-with 's3cmd setacl --acl-public' (or --acl-private) command.

-

-Simple s3cmd HowTo

-1) Register for Amazon AWS / S3

-   Go to http://aws.amazon.com/s3, click the "Sign up

-   for web service" button in the right column and work 

-   through the registration. You will have to supply 

-   your Credit Card details in order to allow Amazon 

-   charge you for S3 usage. 

-   At the end you should have your Access and Secret Keys

-

-2) Run "s3cmd --configure"

-   You will be asked for the two keys - copy and paste 

-   them from your confirmation email or from your Amazon 

-   account page. Be careful when copying them! They are 

-   case sensitive and must be entered accurately or you'll 

-   keep getting errors about invalid signatures or similar.

-

-   Remember to add ListAllMyBuckets permissions to the keys

-   or you will get an AccessDenied error while testing access.

-

-3) Run "s3cmd ls" to list all your buckets.

-   As you just started using S3 there are no buckets owned by 

-   you as of now. So the output will be empty.

-

-4) Make a bucket with "s3cmd mb s3://my-new-bucket-name"

-   As mentioned above the bucket names must be unique amongst 

-   _all_ users of S3. That means the simple names like "test" 

-   or "asdf" are already taken and you must make up something 

-   more original. To demonstrate as many features as possible

-   let's create a FQDN-named bucket s3://public.s3tools.org:

-

-   ~$ s3cmd mb s3://public.s3tools.org

-   Bucket 's3://public.s3tools.org' created

-

-5) List your buckets again with "s3cmd ls"

-   Now you should see your freshly created bucket

-

-   ~$ s3cmd ls

-   2009-01-28 12:34  s3://public.s3tools.org

-

-6) List the contents of the bucket

-

-   ~$ s3cmd ls s3://public.s3tools.org

-   ~$ 

-

-   It's empty, indeed.

-

-7) Upload a single file into the bucket:

-

-   ~$ s3cmd put some-file.xml s3://public.s3tools.org/somefile.xml

-   some-file.xml -> s3://public.s3tools.org/somefile.xml  [1 of 1]

-    123456 of 123456   100% in    2s    51.75 kB/s  done

-

-   Upload a two directory tree into the bucket's virtual 'directory':

-

-   ~$ s3cmd put --recursive dir1 dir2 s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/

-   File 'dir1/file1-1.txt' stored as 's3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-1.txt' [1 of 5]

-   File 'dir1/file1-2.txt' stored as 's3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-2.txt' [2 of 5]

-   File 'dir1/file1-3.log' stored as 's3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-3.log' [3 of 5]

-   File 'dir2/file2-1.bin' stored as 's3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir2/file2-1.bin' [4 of 5]

-   File 'dir2/file2-2.txt' stored as 's3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir2/file2-2.txt' [5 of 5]

-

-   As you can see we didn't have to create the /somewhere

-   'directory'. In fact it's only a filename prefix, not 

-   a real directory and it doesn't have to be created in

-   any way beforehand.

-

-8) Now list the bucket contents again:

-

-   ~$ s3cmd ls s3://public.s3tools.org

-                          DIR   s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/

-   2009-02-10 05:10    123456   s3://public.s3tools.org/somefile.xml

-

-   Use --recursive (or -r) to list all the remote files:

-

-   ~$ s3cmd ls --recursive s3://public.s3tools.org

-   2009-02-10 05:10    123456   s3://public.s3tools.org/somefile.xml

-   2009-02-10 05:13        18   s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-1.txt

-   2009-02-10 05:13         8   s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-2.txt

-   2009-02-10 05:13        16   s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-3.log

-   2009-02-10 05:13        11   s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir2/file2-1.bin

-   2009-02-10 05:13         8   s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir2/file2-2.txt

-

-9) Retrieve one of the files back and verify that it hasn't been 

-   corrupted:

-

-   ~$ s3cmd get s3://public.s3tools.org/somefile.xml some-file-2.xml

-   s3://public.s3tools.org/somefile.xml -> some-file-2.xml  [1 of 1]

-    123456 of 123456   100% in    3s    35.75 kB/s  done

-

-   ~$ md5sum some-file.xml some-file-2.xml

-   39bcb6992e461b269b95b3bda303addf  some-file.xml

-   39bcb6992e461b269b95b3bda303addf  some-file-2.xml

-

-   Checksums of the original file matches the one of the 

-   retrieved one. Looks like it worked :-)

-

-   To retrieve a whole 'directory tree' from S3 use recursive get:

-

-   ~$ s3cmd get --recursive s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere

-   File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-1.txt saved as './somewhere/dir1/file1-1.txt'

-   File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-2.txt saved as './somewhere/dir1/file1-2.txt'

-   File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-3.log saved as './somewhere/dir1/file1-3.log'

-   File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir2/file2-1.bin saved as './somewhere/dir2/file2-1.bin'

-   File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir2/file2-2.txt saved as './somewhere/dir2/file2-2.txt'

-

-   Since the destination directory wasn't specified s3cmd 

-   saved the directory structure in a current working 

-   directory ('.'). 

-

-   There is an important difference between:

-      get s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere

-   and

-      get s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/

-   (note the trailing slash)

-   S3cmd always uses the last path part, ie the word

-   after the last slash, for naming files.

- 

-   In the case of s3://.../somewhere the last path part 

-   is 'somewhere' and therefore the recursive get names

-   the local files as somewhere/dir1, somewhere/dir2, etc.

-

-   On the other hand in s3://.../somewhere/ the last path

-   part is empty and s3cmd will only create 'dir1' and 'dir2' 

-   without the 'somewhere/' prefix:

-

-   ~$ s3cmd get --recursive s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere /tmp

-   File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-1.txt saved as '/tmp/dir1/file1-1.txt'

-   File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-2.txt saved as '/tmp/dir1/file1-2.txt'

-   File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-3.log saved as '/tmp/dir1/file1-3.log'

-   File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir2/file2-1.bin saved as '/tmp/dir2/file2-1.bin'

-

-   See? It's /tmp/dir1 and not /tmp/somewhere/dir1 as it 

-   was in the previous example.

-

-10) Clean up - delete the remote files and remove the bucket:

-

-   Remove everything under s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/

-

-   ~$ s3cmd del --recursive s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/

-   File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-1.txt deleted

-   File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-2.txt deleted

-   ...

-

-   Now try to remove the bucket:

-

-   ~$ s3cmd rb s3://public.s3tools.org

-   ERROR: S3 error: 409 (BucketNotEmpty): The bucket you tried to delete is not empty

-

-   Ouch, we forgot about s3://public.s3tools.org/somefile.xml

-   We can force the bucket removal anyway:

-

-   ~$ s3cmd rb --force s3://public.s3tools.org/

-   WARNING: Bucket is not empty. Removing all the objects from it first. This may take some time...

-   File s3://public.s3tools.org/somefile.xml deleted

-   Bucket 's3://public.s3tools.org/' removed

-

-Hints

-The basic usage is as simple as described in the previous 

-section.

-

-You can increase the level of verbosity with -v option and 

-if you're really keen to know what the program does under 

-its bonet run it with -d to see all 'debugging' output.

-

-After configuring it with --configure all available options

-are spitted into your ~/.s3cfg file. It's a text file ready

-to be modified in your favourite text editor.

+

+some-file.xml -> s3://public.s3tools.org/somefile.xml  [1 of 1]

+ 123456 of 123456   100% in    2s    51.75 kB/s  done

+```

+

+Upload a two-directory tree into the bucket's virtual 'directory':

+

+```

+$ s3cmd put --recursive dir1 dir2 s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/

+

+File 'dir1/file1-1.txt' stored as 's3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-1.txt' [1 of 5]

+File 'dir1/file1-2.txt' stored as 's3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-2.txt' [2 of 5]

+File 'dir1/file1-3.log' stored as 's3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-3.log' [3 of 5]

+File 'dir2/file2-1.bin' stored as 's3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir2/file2-1.bin' [4 of 5]

+File 'dir2/file2-2.txt' stored as 's3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir2/file2-2.txt' [5 of 5]

+```

+

+As you can see we didn't have to create the `/somewhere` 'directory'. In fact it's only a filename prefix, not a real directory and it doesn't have to be created in any way beforehand.

+

+8) Now list the bucket's contents again:

+

+```

+$ s3cmd ls s3://public.s3tools.org

+

+                       DIR   s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/

+2009-02-10 05:10    123456   s3://public.s3tools.org/somefile.xml

+```

+

+Use --recursive (or -r) to list all the remote files:

+

+```

+$ s3cmd ls --recursive s3://public.s3tools.org

+

+2009-02-10 05:10    123456   s3://public.s3tools.org/somefile.xml

+2009-02-10 05:13        18   s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-1.txt

+2009-02-10 05:13         8   s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-2.txt

+2009-02-10 05:13        16   s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-3.log

+2009-02-10 05:13        11   s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir2/file2-1.bin

+2009-02-10 05:13         8   s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir2/file2-2.txt

+```

+

+9) Retrieve one of the files back and verify that it hasn't been

+   corrupted:

+

+```

+$ s3cmd get s3://public.s3tools.org/somefile.xml some-file-2.xml

+

+s3://public.s3tools.org/somefile.xml -> some-file-2.xml  [1 of 1]

+ 123456 of 123456   100% in    3s    35.75 kB/s  done

+```

+

+```

+$ md5sum some-file.xml some-file-2.xml

+

+39bcb6992e461b269b95b3bda303addf  some-file.xml

+39bcb6992e461b269b95b3bda303addf  some-file-2.xml

+```

+

+Checksums of the original file matches the one of the retrieved ones. Looks like it worked :-)

+

+To retrieve a whole 'directory tree' from S3 use recursive get:

+

+```

+$ s3cmd get --recursive s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere

+

+File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-1.txt saved as './somewhere/dir1/file1-1.txt'

+File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-2.txt saved as './somewhere/dir1/file1-2.txt'

+File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-3.log saved as './somewhere/dir1/file1-3.log'

+File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir2/file2-1.bin saved as './somewhere/dir2/file2-1.bin'

+File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir2/file2-2.txt saved as './somewhere/dir2/file2-2.txt'

+```

+

+Since the destination directory wasn't specified, `s3cmd` saved the directory structure in a current working directory ('.').

+

+There is an important difference between:

+

+```

+get s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere

+```

+

+and

+

+```

+get s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/

+```

+

+(note the trailing slash)

+

+`s3cmd` always uses the last path part, ie the word after the last slash, for naming files.

+

+In the case of `s3://.../somewhere` the last path part is 'somewhere' and therefore the recursive get names the local files as somewhere/dir1, somewhere/dir2, etc.

+

+On the other hand in `s3://.../somewhere/` the last path

+part is empty and s3cmd will only create 'dir1' and 'dir2'

+without the 'somewhere/' prefix:

+

+```

+$ s3cmd get --recursive s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere /tmp

+

+File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-1.txt saved as '/tmp/dir1/file1-1.txt'

+File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-2.txt saved as '/tmp/dir1/file1-2.txt'

+File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-3.log saved as '/tmp/dir1/file1-3.log'

+File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir2/file2-1.bin saved as '/tmp/dir2/file2-1.bin'

+```

+

+See? It's `/tmp/dir1` and not `/tmp/somewhere/dir1` as it was in the previous example.

+

+10) Clean up - delete the remote files and remove the bucket:

+

+Remove everything under s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/

+

+```

+$ s3cmd del --recursive s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/

+

+File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-1.txt deleted

+File s3://public.s3tools.org/somewhere/dir1/file1-2.txt deleted

+...

+```

+

+Now try to remove the bucket:

+

+```

+$ s3cmd rb s3://public.s3tools.org

+

+ERROR: S3 error: 409 (BucketNotEmpty): The bucket you tried to delete is not empty

+```

+

+Ouch, we forgot about `s3://public.s3tools.org/somefile.xml`. We can force the bucket removal anyway:

+

+```

+$ s3cmd rb --force s3://public.s3tools.org/

+

+WARNING: Bucket is not empty. Removing all the objects from it first. This may take some time...

+File s3://public.s3tools.org/somefile.xml deleted

+Bucket 's3://public.s3tools.org/' removed

+```

+

+### Hints

+

+The basic usage is as simple as described in the previous section.

+

+You can increase the level of verbosity with `-v` option and if you're really keen to know what the program does under its bonnet run it with `-d` to see all 'debugging' output.

+

+After configuring it with `--configure` all available options are spitted into your `~/.s3cfg` file. It's a text file ready to be modified in your favourite text editor.

+

+For more information refer to the [S3cmd / S3tools homepage](http://s3tools.org).
