A Bash-based CLI tool for uploading files to an S3 bucket.
- AWS CLI installed and configured with the necessary credentials.
- Bash shell environment.
To use the tool, run the following command:
./uploadtos3.sh : The path to the local file you want to upload. : The destination path in the S3 bucket.
Examples: ./uploadtos3.sh ./example.txt uploads/
Please note that the script will prompt you to enter your S3 Bucket name.
Issue 1: Bucket Not Public or Policy Doesn't Allow PUT Object
Solution: Ensure that your S3 bucket is public, and the bucket policy allows the s3:PutObject action. You can modify the bucket policy using the AWS S3 Management Console.
Issue 2: AWS CLI Configuration
Solution: When running 'aws configure', ensure that you provide the correct AWS access key, secret key, region, and output format. Double-check the configuration using 'aws configure list'.
To package and distribute the script, you can create a simple installation script or provide instructions for adding it to the user's $PATH.
Installation Tips:
Download the script: (https://github.com/nehemiahlc/s3-upload-tool/blob/a42617f2d25a846aaffc85792a11aa5b862bbfce/S3%20Tool)
Make it executable: chmod +x uploadtos3.sh
Move it to a directory in your $PATH: mv uploadtos3.sh /usr/local/bin/
Now users can run the script from any directory.
If you encounter issues, try the following:
Ensure AWS CLI is installed and configured. Check your AWS credentials. Verify that the S3 bucket is public, and the bucket policy allows s3:PutObject.
In the upcoming releases, I have exciting plans to enhance this tool with the following features:
Users will have the ability to choose whether to overwrite, skip, or rename existing files in the cloud during uploads.
Enjoy the convenience of uploading multiple files in a single command, streamlining the process.
A progress tracking feature will be introduced, allowing users to monitor the status of their file uploads.
After uploading, generate and display shareable links effortlessly, making it simple to share files with others.
For added security, an encryption feature will be implemented to safeguard your files during the upload process.
Stay tuned for these exciting enhancements in future updates! Your feedback and suggestions are welcome; feel free to open an issue to share your thoughts or propose additional features.
