The following forum message was posted by Anonymous at http://sourceforge.net/projects/s3tools/forums/forum/618865/topic/4636398:
I'd like to make an enhancement requests:
1. allow the passing of access key and secret options.
2. Add a no config file option
1. -
In the very least we should be able to pass the access key and secret key to
the s3cmd script so that they don't need to be stored in the .s3cfg file. This
also makes it easier to jump between accounts through automation scripts without
going through the config process for each.
This is easily accomplished with adding the following code to the s3cmd script:
optparser.add_option( "--access_key", dest="access_key", help="AWS
Access Key")
optparser.add_option( "--secret_key", dest="secret_key", help="AWS
Secret Key")
This has been tested with a .s3cfg config file with these values removed.
2. -
A noconfig option would allow the user to skip the configuration process and
settle for the defaults. Of course without further enhancements to the command
line options some of the functionality would be missing. However for the basic
functionality of ls, put, get, etc. this makes it easy to spin up an EC2 instance,
automatically wget s3cmd and immediately start using it without the configuration
step.
This can be done with the following code changes:
...
optparser.add_option( "--noconfig", dest="noconfig", help="Do not
use the config file. access_key and secret_options will be required")
...
if options.noconfig:
cfg = Config()
else :
## Now finally parse the config file
if not options.config:
error(u"Can't find a config file. Please use --config
option.")
sys.exit(1)
try:
cfg = Config(options.config)
except IOError, e:
if options.run_configure:
cfg = Config()
else:
error(u"%s: %s" % (options.config,
e.strerror))
error(u"Configuration file not available.")
error(u"Consider using --configure parameter
to create one.")
sys.exit(1)
...
This has been tested with the following command line:
./s3cmd --noconfig=1 --access_key=ACCESS_KEY --secret_key=SECRET_KEY ls
I'd like to see if this can get into next release.
Thanks,
Patrick
