Thanks for your reply, the problem is fixed in the latest version. When I used version 1.2.4 the problem no longer exists..

PS: I'd be glad to help in building a GUI for S3. I've already created one using php

Thanks anyway,

I'm building a web interface for s3sync to be used as a backup interface on S3. After I upload any empty directories or upload a directory that contain any empty directory and try to download them again "get it on the local filesystem", s3sync doesn't understand the "empty" node directories and creates it as a file and not as an empty directory !!! I'd appreciate any help, I'm not a ruby guy

Hi,
I'm creating a web interface for the s3sync to use it as a backup system of servers on S3. I'm facing a problem that apache doesn't have root privileges, so it can't access some directories . So I tried using sudo but it failed. somehow when I run the s3sync scrips using sudo and see the UID of the resulting process I find it the normal user not running as root. Any idea how can I use sudo with s3sync ?? or how to run the s3sync from my web interface as root ?? I'm not really a ruby guy
