S3Arch is a PHP CLI script which recursively archives local files to Amazon S3. It calculates MD5 hashes and never overwrites existing objects, so theoretically it should never destroy anything!

Usage

1. Install PHP CLI.
2. Download s3arch.php and S3.php to the folder you wish to archive.
3. Open a command console and run:

php -f s3arch.php --key <aws-access-key> --secret <aws-secret-key> --bucket <s3-bucket>

Parameters

Command-line arguments are specified in the brutishly simple syntax: --name value.

• key: AWS Access Key, e.g. user ID.
• secret: AWS Secret Key, e.g. password.
• bucket: Name of the S3 bucket to place these in.
• path: Path on S3 to use, separate components with forward slashes (/).
• ignore: Regular expression pattern, tested against object URL, of files and directories to be ignored. Ignored files are prefixed by a carrot (^) in the output.

Future

• JavaScript (WSF) version for Windows.
• JungleDisk-compatible encryption/decryption.
