How do I upload an entire directory to S3?

Question

I want my directory, and all its sub directories and files, to go straight to S3. Clone it.

Is there an easy script/program to do that?

I'm on Ubuntu linux.

Answer 1

1. Install S3 (http://s3tools.org/download)

2. Configure it: s3cmd --configure

3. Create a bucket: s3cmd mb s3://my-bucket (alternatively, you can do this via a tool like S3Fox)

4. Sync your local directory with S3: s3cmd sync /path/to/local/dir/ s3://my-bucket
