S3Sync.net

Hi,

I am new to ruby and s3sync. It appears to be almost working. I can list buckets and put and get files, but the files are all zero length.

s3sync.rb -v -d s3sync.tar.gz bucketname:again

Trying command put bucketname again2/s3sync.tar.gz #<S3::S3Object:0xb7d68220> x-amz-acl public-read Content-Type application/x-gzip Content-Length 0 with 100 retries left

The file is Size: 26667

ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-linux]

Does it relate to
headers['Content-Length'] = FileTest.size(file).to_s

Thanks, Jerry

You can't use s3sync with a file argument, only a directory.  This limitation may go away in the future, but probably not.  If you are desperate to transfer a single file you can use s3cmd with the "put" command.

Thank you clarifying that this only works with directories.

Is there a routine way for s3cmd.rb to find its include files? I put these scripts in my path, but they error because the required files do not have fully qualified paths. Does ruby have a variable for relative to the script path?

Thanks, Jerry

I actually don't know the answer.. if you are putting the script and the satellite files in different places, maybe define that to be part of the ruby library path?  (I'm not much of a ruby expert..)

I keep them all together, and stand with the current directory as the s3sync dir.  From there I use "full paths" to indicate the operands.

export RUBYLIB=/path/to/your/libraries

e.g. if
  require 'blah'

and /path/to/blah then

export RUBYLIB=/path/to
