## What's New in s4cmd 2.x
- Fully migrated from old boto 2.x to new [boto3](http://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/services/s3.html) library, which provides more reliable and up-to-date S3 backend.
- Support S3 `--API-ServerSideEncryption` along with **36 new API pass-through options**. See API pass-through options section for complete list.
- Support batch delete (with delete_objects API) to delete up to 1000 files with single call. **100+ times faster** than sequential deletion.
- Support `S4CMD_OPTS` environment variable for commonly used options such as `--API-ServerSideEncryption` across all your s4cmd operations.
- Support moving files **larger than 5GB** with multipart upload. **20+ times faster** then sequential move operation when moving large files.
- Support timestamp filtering with `--last-modified-before` and `--last-modified-after` options for all operations. Human friendly timestamps are supported, e.g. `--last-modified-before='2 months ago'`
- Faster upload with lazy evaluation of md5 hash.
- Listing large number of files with S3 pagination, with memory is the limit.
- New directory to directory `dsync` command is better and standalone implementation to replace old `sync` command, which is implemented based on top of get/put/mv commands. `--delete-removed` work for all cases including local to s3, s3 to local, and s3 to s3. `sync` command preserves the old behavior in this version for compatibility.
- [Support for S3 compatible storage services](https://github.com/bloomreach/s4cmd/issues/52) such as DreamHost and Cloudian using `--endpoint-url` (Community Supported Beta Feature).
- Tested on both Python 2.7, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and nightly.
- Special thanks to [onera.com](http://www.onera.com) for supporting s4cmd.
## Motivation
S4cmd is a command-line utility for accessing
[Amazon S3](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_S3), inspired by
[s3cmd](http://s3tools.org/s3cmd).
We have used s3cmd heavily for a number of scripted, data-intensive
applications. However as the need for a variety of small improvements arose, we
created our own implementation, s4cmd. It is intended as an alternative to
s3cmd for enhanced performance and for large files, and with a number of
additional features and fixes that we have found useful.
It strives to be compatible with the most common usage scenarios for s3cmd. It
does not offer exact drop-in compatibility, due to a number of corner cases where
different behavior seems preferable, or for bugfixes.
## Features
S4cmd supports the regular commands you might expect for fetching and storing
files in S3: `ls`, `put`, `get`, `cp`, `mv`, `sync`, `del`, `du`.
The main features that distinguish s4cmd are:
- Simple (less than 1500 lines of code) and implemented in pure Python, based
on the widely used [Boto3](https://github.com/boto/boto3) library.
- Multi-threaded/multi-connection implementation for enhanced performance on all
commands. As with many network-intensive applications (like web browsers),
accessing S3 in a single-threaded way is often significantly less efficient than
having multiple connections actively transferring data at once. In general, we
get a 2X boost to upload/download speeds from this.
- Path handling: S3 is not a traditional filesystem with built-in support for
directory structure: internally, there are only objects, not directories or
folders. However, most people use S3 in a hierarchical structure, with paths
separated by slashes, to emulate traditional filesystems. S4cmd follows
conventions to more closely replicate the behavior of traditional filesystems
in certain corner cases. For example, "ls" and "cp" work much like in Unix
shells, to avoid odd surprises. (For examples see compatibility notes below.)
- Wildcard support: Wildcards, including multiple levels of wildcards, like in
Unix shells, are handled. For example:
s3://my-bucket/my-folder/20120512/*/*chunk00?1?
- Automatic retry: Failure tasks will be executed again after a delay.
- Multi-part upload support for files larger than 5GB.
- Handling of MD5s properly with respect to multi-part uploads (for the sordid
details of this, see below).
- Miscellaneous enhancements and bugfixes:
- Partial file creation: Avoid creating empty target files if source does not
exist. Avoid creating partial output files when commands are interrupted.
- General thread safety: Tool can be interrupted or killed at any time without
being blocked by child threads or leaving incomplete or corrupt files in
place.
- Ensure exit code is nonzero on all failure scenarios (a very important
feature in scripts).
- Expected handling of symlinks (they are followed).
- Support both `s3://` and `s3n://` prefixes (the latter is common with
Amazon Elastic Mapreduce).
Limitations:
- No CloudFront or other feature support.
- Currently, we simulate `sync` with `get` and `put` with `--recursive --force --sync-check`.
## Installation and Setup
You can install `s4cmd` [PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/s4cmd).
```
pip install s4cmd
```
- Copy or create a symbolic link so you can run `s4cmd.py` as `s4cmd`. (It is just
a single file!)
- If you already have a `~/.s3cfg` file from configuring `s3cmd`, credentials
from this file will be used. Otherwise, set the `S3_ACCESS_KEY` and
`S3_SECRET_KEY` environment variables to contain your S3 credentials.
- If no keys are provided, but an IAM role is associated with the EC2 instance, it will
be used transparently.

## S3 API Pass-through Options
Those options are directly translated to boto3 API commands. The options provided will be filtered by the APIs that are taking parameters. For example, `--API-ServerSideEncryption` is only needed for `put_object`, `create_multipart_upload` but not for `list_buckets` and `get_objects` for example. Therefore, providing `--API-ServerSideEncryption` for `s4cmd ls` has no effect.

##### `--API-SSECustomerKey=[string]`
Specifies the customer-provided encryption key for Amazon S3 to use in encrypting data. This value is used to store the object and then it is discarded; Amazon does not store the encryption key. The key must be appropriate for use with the algorithm specified in the x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm header.
##### `--API-SSEKMSKeyId=[string]`
Specifies the AWS KMS key ID to use for object encryption. All GET and PUT requests for an object protected by AWS KMS will fail if not made via SSL or using SigV4.

## Debugging Tips
Simply enable `--debug` option to see the full log of s4cmd. If you even need to check what APIs are invoked from s4cmd to boto3, you can run:
```
s4cmd --debug [op] .... 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep S3APICALL
```
To see all the parameters sending to S3 API.
## Compatibility between s3cmd and s4cmd
Prefix matching: In s3cmd, unlike traditional filesystems, prefix names match listings:
```
>> s3cmd ls s3://my-bucket/ch
s3://my-bucket/charlie/
s3://my-bucket/chyang/
```
In s4cmd, behavior is the same as with a Unix shell:
```
>>s4cmd ls s3://my-bucket/ch
>(empty)
```
To get prefix behavior, use explicit wildcards instead: s4cmd ls s3://my-bucket/ch*
Similarly, sync and cp commands emulate the Unix cp command, so directory to
directory sync use different syntax:
```
>> s3cmd sync s3://bucket/path/dirA s3://bucket/path/dirB/
```
will copy contents in dirA to dirB.
```
>> s4cmd sync s3://bucket/path/dirA s3://bucket/path/dirB/
```
will copy dirA *into* dirB.
To achieve the s3cmd behavior, use wildcards:
```
s4cmd sync s3://bucket/path/dirA/* s3://bucket/path/dirB/
```
Note s4cmd doesn't support dirA without trailing slash indicating dirA/* as
what rsync supported.
No automatic override for put command:
s3cmd put fileA s3://bucket/path/fileB will return error if fileB exists.
Use -f as well as get command.
Bugfixes for handling of non-existent paths: Often s3cmd creates empty files when specified paths do not exist:
s3cmd get s3://my-bucket/no_such_file downloads an empty file.
s4cmd get s3://my-bucket/no_such_file returns an error.
s3cmd put no_such_file s3://my-bucket/ uploads an empty file.
s4cmd put no_such_file s3://my-bucket/ returns an error.
## Additional technical notes
Etags, MD5s and multi-part uploads: Traditionally, the etag of an object in S3
has been its MD5. However, this changed with the introduction of S3 multi-part
uploads; in this case the etag is still a unique ID, but it is not the MD5 of
the file. Amazon has not revealed the definition of the etag in this case, so
there is no way we can calculate and compare MD5s based on the etag header in
general. The workaround we use is to upload the MD5 as a supplemental content
header (called "md5", instead of "etag"). This enables s4cmd to check the MD5
hash before upload or download. The only limitation is that this only works for
files uploaded via s4cmd. Programs that do not understand this header will
still have to download and verify the MD5 directly.
## Unimplemented features
- CloudFront or other feature support beyond basic S3 access.
