Package: boto_rsync
Copyright: (c) 2012 Seth Davishttp://github.com/seedifferently/boto_rsyncSynopsisboto-rsync is a rough adaptation of boto’s s3put script which has been
reengineered to more closely mimic rsync. Its goal is to provide a familiar
rsync-like wrapper for boto’s S3 and Google Storage interfaces.By default, the script works recursively and differences between files are
checked by comparing file sizes (e.g. rsync’s –recursive and –size-only
options). If the file exists on the destination but its size differs from
the source, then it will be overwritten (unless the -w option is used).InstallationTo install, simply:pip install boto_rsyncYou’ll need to havePython2.5+ andpipinstalled.You might have to be root (or use sudo) for pip to install the script into a
globally executable directory in your $PATH.pip should automatically install boto for you, but the advanced user can find
it here:http://github.com/boto/boto/Usageboto-rsync [OPTIONS] SOURCE DESTINATIONSOURCE and DESTINATION can be:A local path to a directory or specific fileA custom S3 or GS URL to a directory or specific key in the format of
s3://bucketname/path/or/keyA S3 to S3 transfer using two S3 URLsA GS to GS transfer using two GS URLsExamplesboto-rsync [OPTIONS] /local/path/ s3://bucketname/remote/path/or:boto-rsync [OPTIONS] gs://bucketname/remote/path/or/key /local/path/or:boto-rsync [OPTIONS] s3://bucketname/ s3://another_bucket/Options-a KEY, --access-key KEY
                      Your Access Key ID. If not supplied, boto will look
                      for an environment variable or a credentials file.
-s SECRET, --secret-key SECRET
                      Your Secret Key. If not supplied, boto will look for
                      an environment variable or a credentials file.
--anon                Connect without credentials (S3 only). Useful if
                      working with others' buckets that have a global
                      read/write ACL.
--endpoint HOST       Specify a specific S3 endpoint to connect to via
                      boto's "host" connection argument (S3 only).
-g GRANT, --grant GRANT
                      A canned ACL policy that will be granted on each file
                      transferred to S3/GS. The value provided must be one
                      of the "canned" ACL policies supported by S3/GS:
                      private, public-read, public-read-write (S3 only), or
                      authenticated-read
-m METADATA [METADATA ...], --metadata METADATA [METADATA ...]
                      One or more "Name: value" pairs specifying what
                      metadata to set on each file transferred to S3/GS.
                      Note: Be sure to end your args with "--" if this is
                      the last argument specified so that SOURCE and
                      DESTINATION can be read properly. e.g. boto-rsync -m
                      "Content-Type: audio/mpeg" "Content-Disposition:
                      attachment" -- ./path/ s3://bucket/
-r, --reduced         Enable reduced redundancy on files copied to S3.
-e, --encrypt-keys    Enable server-side encryption on files copied to S3
                      (only applies when S3 is the destination).
-p, --preserve-acl    Copy the ACL from the source key to the destination
                      key (only applies in S3/S3 and GS/GS transfer modes).
-w, --no-overwrite    No files will be overwritten, if the file/key exists
                      on the destination it will be kept. Note that this is
                      not a sync--even if the file has been updated on the
                      source it will not be updated on the destination.
--glob                Interpret the tail end of SOURCE as a filename pattern
                      and filter transfers accordingly. Note: If globbing a
                      local path, make sure that your CLI's automatic
                      filename expansion is disabled (typically accomplished
                      by enclosing SOURCE in quotes, e.g. "/path/*.zip").
--no-recurse          Do not recurse into directories.
--skip-dirkeys        When syncing to S3 or GS, skip the creation of keys
                      which represent "directories" (an empty key ending in
                      "/" for S3 or "_$folder$" for GS).
--ignore-empty        Ignore empty (0-byte) keys/files/directories. This
                      will skip the transferring of empty directories and
                      keys/files whose size is 0. Warning: S3/GS often uses
                      empty keys with special trailing characters to specify
                      directories.
--delete              Delete extraneous files from destination dirs after
                      the transfer has finished (e.g. rsync's --delete-
                      after).
-n, --dry-run         No files will be transferred, but informational
                      messages will be printed about what would have
                      happened.
-v, --verbose         Print additional informational messages.
-d LEVEL, --debug LEVEL
                      Level 0 means no debug output (default), 1 means
                      normal debug output from boto, and 2 means boto debug
                      output plus request/response output from httplib.
-h, --help            show the help message and exitAdvanced Configuration Optionsboto supports the option to read access/secret keys from the environment or from
a credentials file. Set the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID/AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or
GS_ACCESS_KEY_ID/GS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables or use boto’s
advanced configuration options to set up a credentials file.More information on boto’s advanced configuration options can be found here:http://boto.cloudhackers.com/en/latest/boto_config_tut.htmlKnown Issues and LimitationsDifferences between keys/files are assumedonlyby checking the size.Due to the nature of how directories work in S3/GS, some non-standard folder
structures might not transfer correctly. Empty directories may also be
overlooked in some cases. When in doubt, use “-n” first.Simple “globbing” (e.g./path/*.zip) is supported but may behave strangely
on some systems. See the “–glob” option’s help text for more info.At this time, the script does not take advantage of boto’s “multipart”
transfer methods. (pull requests welcome!)Disclaimers and WarningsThis is Alpha software–always remember to use the “-n” option first!THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
