HowTo: S3 bucket dynamic URI access

Posted on March 5, 2014 Updated on March 11, 2014

s3cmd is a command line tool for uploading, retrieving and managing data in Amazon S3. Still their are no wiki is updated.
you may get the packages from sourceforge official

Also the download repository is available here : Download Now

It will also support including unix dynamic resource access method, for example we can use * for calling all the resources or {dir1,file2} for specific resource.

I was shown in the example for setting up public acl for dynamic sub directories.

Installation:

root@planetcure:wget http://kaz.dl.sourceforge.net/project/s3tools/s3cmd/1.0.1/s3cmd-1.0.1.tar.gz
root@planetcure:tar -zxvf s3cmd-1.0.1.tar.gz
root@planetcure:export  PATH=$PATH:/opt/installer/s3cmd-1.0.1

Now we can access the binary from any of the location.

root@planetcure:/opt/installer/s3cmd-1.0.1# s3cmd setacl --acl-public s3://my-bucket-name/{dev,stg1,stg2}/*/dir5/*/3/*

This command will execute the following scenarios

s3://my-bucket-name/  is my S3 bucket

* will represent all the subdirectories

{dev,stg1,stg2} will represent the specific directories from the group of directories

dir5/ ,3/ will represent specific sub-directory

Enjoy the day, 🙂
