About

A command line Python script to upload a single file to a bucket on Amazon S3 (using the boto library).

Command Line Options

Options: --version show program s version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit -k AWSKEY, --aws_access_key_id=AWSKEY -s AWSSECRET, --aws_secret_access_key=AWSSECRET -f FILENAME, --filename=FILENAME -b BUCKETNAME, --bucketname=BUCKETNAME -n KEYNAME, --keyname=KEYNAME -a ACL, --acl=ACL

Example

The following command uploads the file ~/backups/latest.tgz to the S3 bucket called 'backupbucket' using the name '20090701.tgz'. The backup should be private. python s3afe.py -f '~/backups/latest.tgz' -n '20090701.tgz' -b 'backupbucket' -a 'private' -k 'HONIKLQSJREDBCFTAGMP' -s 'och4od9cub4byms8iv7nun7fid1had3cyind5of2'

In case you set the environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, s3afe takes those and the command is a bit shorter: python s3afe.py -f '~/backups/latest.tgz' -n '20090701.tgz' -b 'backupbucket' -a 'private'

To prevent exposing your private data by mistake, the ACL 'private' is default. This shortens the command to: python s3afe.py -f '~/backups/latest.tgz' -n '20090701.tgz' -b 'backupbucket'
