Cliaws: command-line access to S3

April 14th, 2008

I just released a new gem on RubyForge: cliaws. Using it, you have access to nice command line shortcuts:

$ AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your access key>
$ AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<the secret access key>"
$ clis3 list BUCKET/PATH-PREFIX
$ clis3 put BUCKET/FULL/PATH/NAME /path/to/local/file
$ clis3 get BUCKET/FULL/PATH/NAME /path/to/local/file
$ clis3 cat BUCKET/FULL/PATH/NAME

This is not rocket science, but with the kind of work I’m doing at the moment, having quick command-line access to S3 is a boon.

Installation

# Retrieve and store in a variable

# Retrieve and stream to specified file
File.open("/path/to/local/file", "w") do |f|
  Cliaws.s3.get("BUCKET/FULL/PATH/NAME", f)
end

# Returns an Array of full names
contents = Cliaws.s3.list("BUCKET")
