s6cmd

s6cmd is stiall under developing, please do not use it in your production environment.

s6cmd is a command-line tool for Amazon S3, using aws-sdk-go-v2, since the aws has announced the aws-sdk-go is deprecated. It's inspired by the popular s3cmd tool and aims to provide similar functionality with improved performance and modern Go architecture.

Features

s6cmd currently supports the following S3 operations:

• Bucket Operations

  • mb - Make bucket (create S3 bucket)
  • rb - Remove bucket (delete S3 bucket)
  • ls - List buckets and objects

• Object Operations

  • put - Upload files to S3
  • get - Download files from S3
  • cp - Copy objects within S3
  • mv - Move/rename objects in S3
  • rm - Remove objects from S3
  • stat - Display object metadata
  • du - Display disk usage for objects

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-access-key
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-secret-key
export AWS_REGION=your-object-storage-region

AWS Credentials File

aws configure

Configuration File

Create a configuration file at config/s6cmd.yaml:

Usage

Basic Examples

# Download a file
s6cmd get s3://my-bucket/remote-file.txt local-file.txt

# Copy objects within S3
s6cmd cp s3://source-bucket/file.txt s3://dest-bucket/file.txt

# Sync local directory with S3
s6cmd sync ./local-dir/ s3://my-bucket/prefix/

# Display bucket structure
s6cmd tree s3://my-bucket/

# Create a new bucket
s6cmd mb s3://my-new-bucket

# Remove objects

Architecture

s6cmd is built using:

• AWS SDK for Go v2 - Modern, efficient AWS SDK
• Cobra - CLI framework for Go
• Viper - Configuration management

Development Status

s6cmd is actively under development. While it already provides essential S3 operations, we're continuously adding new features and improvements.
