xibitdigital/docker-s4cmd repository overview

⁠What is Docker S4CMD

S4cmd is a command-line utility for accessing Amazon S3, inspired by 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.
