Synopsis
================================================================================

boto-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).


Installation
================================================================================

To install, simply::

    pip install boto_rsync

* You'll need to have `Python`_ 2.5+ and `pip`_ installed.
* 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/

.. _Python: http://www.python.org
.. _pip: http://www.pip-installer.org


Usage
================================================================================

::

    boto-rsync [OPTIONS] SOURCE DESTINATION

SOURCE and DESTINATION can be:

* A local path to a directory or specific file
* A custom S3 or GS URL to a directory or specific key in the format of
  s3://bucketname/path/or/key
* A S3 to S3 transfer using two S3 URLs
* A GS to GS transfer using two GS URLs


Examples
================================================================================

::

    boto-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 exit


Advanced Configuration Options
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

boto 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:

Known Issues and Limitations
================================================================================

* Differences between keys/files are assumed *only* by 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 Warnings
