NAME

       Net::Amazon::S3::Tools - command line tools for Amazon S3

SYNOPSIS

         s3acl [options] [[bucket|bucket/key] ...]
         s3ls [options]
         s3ls [options] [ bucket/item ... ]
         s3get [options] [ bucket/item ... ]
         s3put [options] [ bucket/item ... ]
         s3mkbucket [options] [ bucket ... ]
         s3rmbucket [options] [ bucket ... ]

OPTIONS

       Each of the tools have their own specific command line options, but the also all share
       some common command line options, which are described here.

       --help
           Print a brief help message and exits.

       --man
           Prints the manual page and exits.

       --verbose
           Output what is being done as it is done.

       --access-key and --secret-key
           Specify the "AWS Access Key Identifiers" for the AWS account.  --access-key is the
           "Access Key ID", and --secret-key is the "Secret Access Key".  These are effectively
           the "username" and "password" to the AWS account, and should be kept confidential.

           The access keys MUST be specified, either via these command line parameters, or via
           the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables.

           Specifying them on the command line overrides the environment variables.

       --secure
           Uses SSL/TLS HTTPS to communicate with the AWS service, instead of HTTP.

DESCRIPTION

       These S3 command line tools allow you to manipulate and populate an S3 account.  Refer to
       the documentation (pod and man) for each of the tools.

       This Net::Amazon::S3::Tools module is mostly just a stub, to hoist the bundling and
       installation of the executable scripts that make up the actual tools.

BUGS

       Report bugs to Mark Atwood mark@fallenpegasus.com.

       Occasionally the S3 service will randomly fail for no externally apparent reason.  When
       that happens, these tools should retry, with a delay and a backoff.

       Access to the S3 service can be authenticated with a X.509 certificate, instead of via the
       "AWS Access Key Identifiers".  These tools should support that.

       It might be useful to be able to specify the "AWS Access Key Identifiers" in the user's
       "~/.netrc" file.  These tools should support that.

       Errors and warnings are very "Perl-ish", and can be confusing.

SEE ALSO

       These tools use the Net::Amazon::S3 Perl module.
