Examples
s3cmd
Connect s3cmd to RustFS and perform basic object operations from the command line.
s3cmd is a command-line client for S3-compatible storage. Point it at your RustFS endpoint with a small config file.
Install
# macOS
brew install s3cmd
# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo apt install s3cmd
# or via pip
pip install s3cmdConfigure
Create ~/.s3cfg. Replace localhost:9000 with your server address and use your own access keys. RustFS uses path-style addressing, so set the bucket host to the same endpoint:
[default]
access_key = <your-access-key>
secret_key = <your-secret-key>
host_base = localhost:9000
host_bucket = localhost:9000
use_https = False
signature_v2 = FalseSet use_https = True and point at port 9000 if you have configured TLS.

Create a bucket, upload a file, and list it:
s3cmd mb s3://my-bucket
s3cmd put /path/to/hello.txt s3://my-bucket/hello.txt
s3cmd ls s3://my-bucketupload: '/path/to/hello.txt' -> 's3://my-bucket/hello.txt' [1 of 1]
