cloud-fs

Commands for working with files in cloud storage.

Install

npm install -g @codecapers/cloud-fs

Configure

To use cloud-fs you need to configure it to connect to your cloud storage account.

AWS

Install the AWS CLI tool.

Use the AWS CLI tool to authenticate with your AWS account by running this command:

aws configure

Or set your AWS API key in environment variables:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your-aws-access-key>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<your-aws-secret-key>
export AWS_REGION=<your-aws-region>

Or on Windows:

set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your-aws-access-key>
set AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<your-aws-secret-key>
set AWS_REGION=<your-aws-region>

Azure storage

Set the following environment variable to the connection string for your Azure storage account:

export AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING=<Azure-storage-connection-string>

Or on Windows:

set AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING=<Azure-storage-connection-string>

Usage

List files

Listing files at the root shows cloud vendors:

> cloud ls /
az/  aws/  local/

Listing files within a particular cloud vendor:

> cloud ls /aws/mybucket
file1  file2  file3 etc

Copy a file

Copying a file from one vendor to another:

cloud cp /vendorA/path/to/file.txt /vendorB/path/to/dest/dir

For example, from Azure to AWS:

cloud cp /az/src-dir/file.txt /aws/dest-dir/

! Existing files are not overwritten.

Copy a directory

Copying a whole directory full of files from one vendor to another:

cloud cp /vendorA/path/to/dir/ /vendorB/path/to/dest/dir/

For example, copying an Azure storage account to an AWS S3 bucket:

cloud cp /az/ /aws/

! Existing files are not overwritten.

Interactive CLI

Run the cloud command by itself to start the interactive CLI:

> cloud

Now enter commands at the cloud> prompt:

cloud> ls
cloud> cp az/ aws/

You can even change directories:

cloud> cd aws/some/path
cloud> cp ./ /az/some/dest/dir
