Turbolift Files to Rackspace Cloud Files -Swift-

General Overview
If you have found yourself in a situation where you needed or wanted to upload a whole bunch of files to Cloud Files
quickly, this is what you are looking for. Turbolift is an assistant for uploading files to the the Rackspace Cloud
Files Repository with a bunch of options.
You’ll also probably want to read The Rackspace Cloud Files API guide (PDF) :
The guide will provide you an overview of all of the available functions for Cloud Files.
The Process by which this application works is simple. All you have to do is Literally fill in the command line
arguments and press enter. The application is a multiprocessing Cloud Files Uploader which will upload any directory
or file provided to it.

Functions of the Application :

Upload a directory, (recursively)
Upload a single file
Upload a local directory (recursively) and sync it with a Cloud Files Container
Download a Container to a local directory
Download changed objects from a Container to a local directory
Compresses a Local Directory, then uploads it
List all Containers
List all Objects in a Container
Delete an Object in a Container
Delete an entire Container
Clone one Container in one region to another Container in the same or Different Region.
Set Custom headers on Objects/Containers



Turbolift can be managed with a config file. The option --system-config references a config file.
Additionally, the Environment Variable TURBO_CONFIG can be used to reference a config file as well.
All of Turbolift’s options can be set in the config file. This makes managing Turbolift very simple.
Please read command_line_args for more information on Command Line Arguments and functions.
If you would like to setup Turbolift to use an environment variable file I would recommend you have a look at the turboliftrc_example file and the environment_vars document.
Please also review the Turbolift Wiki for more information.
