USE AWS S3 WITH S3CMD

One of the most popular Amazon S3 command line clients is s3cmd, which is written in python. As a simple AWS S3 command line tool, s3cmd is ideal to use when you want to run scripted cron jobs such as daily backups.

STEP 1:- 

• To install s3cmd on Ubuntu or Debian:

     [  nitin@nitin-ubuntu: ~ ] $   sudo apt-get install s3cmd

STEP 2:-

•  Configure:

      [  nitin@nitin-ubuntu: ~ ] $ s3cmd --configure 
Enter new values or accept defaults in brackets with Enter.
Refer to user manual for detailed description of all options.

Access key and Secret key are your identifiers for Amazon S3
Access Key: (Access Key for the admin S3 User we have created before)
Secret Key: (Seccret Key for the admin S3 User we have created before)

Encryption password is used to protect your files from reading
by unauthorized persons while in transfer to S3
Encryption password: (your-password)
Path to GPG program [/usr/bin/gpg]:

When using secure HTTPS protocol all communication with Amazon S3
servers is protected from 3rd party eavesdropping. This method is
slower than plain HTTP and can't be used if you're behind a proxy
Use HTTPS protocol [No]:

On some networks all internet access must go through a HTTP proxy.
Try setting it here if you can't conect to S3 directly
HTTP Proxy server name:

New settings:
  Access Key: ***********************
  Secret Key: ***************************
  Encryption password: ***********
  Path to GPG program: /usr/bin/gpg
  Use HTTPS protocol: False
  HTTP Proxy server name:
  HTTP Proxy server port: 0

Test access with supplied credentials? [Y/n] y
Please wait...
Success. Your access key and secret key worked fine :-)

Now verifying that encryption works...
Success. Encryption and decryption worked fine :-)

Save settings? [y/N] y
Configuration saved to '/home/nitin/.s3cfg'

STEP 3:- 

• Listing Buckets:

   [  nitin@nitin-ubuntu: ~ ] $ s3cmd ls

   [  nitin@nitin-ubuntu: ~ ] $ s3cmd ls s3://Bucket-Name 

• Listing Bucket contents (files):

   [  nitin@nitin-ubuntu: ~ ] $  s3cmd ls s3://Bucket-Name/Folder-Name 

• Download all folder content:

   [  nitin@nitin-ubuntu: ~ ] $  s3cmd get s3://Bucket-Name/Folder-Name/*
