s4cmd
A high-performance, multi-threaded command-line tool for Amazon S3 and S3-compatible storage with enhanced Unix-like behavior.
What is s4cmd?
s4cmd is a command-line tool for efficiently managing files on Amazon S3 and S3-compatible storage services. It provides fast, multi-threaded operations for uploading, downloading, syncing, and managing large datasets, addressing performance limitations and usability quirks found in other S3 CLI tools. It solves the need for a reliable, script-friendly interface that behaves predictably like traditional Unix filesystem commands.
Developers, data engineers, and system administrators who regularly work with S3 in automated scripts or handle large-scale data transfers and need a fast, reliable command-line interface.
Developers choose s4cmd for its significant performance improvements over s3cmd, its Unix-like path handling that reduces surprises, and its robust feature set for large files and synchronization, all while maintaining a simple, pure-Python implementation.
