cfupload 0.5.1

A very simple Rackspace Cloud Files uploader

# Simple Cloud Files Uploader
Python script to quickly upload files to [Rackspace Cloud Files](http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/files/) or [OpenStack Swift](http://swift.openstack.org). Originally developed to make one-liner uploads more manageable. Supports input via file arguments or standard input.

## Installation
For the love of Guido, use [virtualenv](http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/index.html) with whichever of the following methods you choose:

### pip
``` bash
$ pip install cfupload
```

### EasyInstall
``` bash
$ easy_install cfupload
```

### setuptools
``` bash
$ git clone git://github.com/DavidWittman/Simple-Cloud-Files-Uploader.git
$ cd Simple-Cloud-Files-Uploader
$ python setup.py install
```

## Usage

```
usage: cfupload [-h] [-k <api key>] [-u <username>] [-a <auth_url>] [-s]
[-o <filename>] [-q] [-c]
container [files [files ...]]

Upload files to Rackspace Cloud Files or Openstack Swift.

positional arguments:
container Container name in Cloud Files or Openstack Swift
files The file(s) to upload

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit

Cloud Files Connection Information:
-k <api key>, --apikey <api key>
API key. Defaults to env[CLOUD_FILES_APIKEY]
-u <username>, --user <username>
Username. Defaults to env[CLOUD_FILES_USERNAME]
-a <auth_url>, --auth <auth_url>
Authentication endpoint. Defaults to
env[CLOUD_FILES_AUTH_URL]
-s, --snet Use ServiceNet for connections

Output options:
-o <filename>, --file <filename>
Destination filename in Cloud Files or Openstack Swift
-q Silence output
-c, --cdn Print CDN URL to stdout
```

## Examples

Each of these examples assume you have the environment variables `CLOUD_FILES_AUTH_URL`, `CLOUD_FILES_USERNAME` and `CLOUD_FILES_APIKEY` exported. Alternatively, you can pass the username, auth_url and API key in as options with `-u`,`-a` and `-k`, respectively.

### Upload a single file

``` bash
$ cfupload mycontainer ~/F4z2L.gif
```

### Upload multiple files

``` bash
$ cfupload gifs ~/Pictures/*.gif
```

### Upload from stdin

``` bash
$ tar cvzf - ~/important/* | cfupload -o backup-$(date '+%Y%m$d') backups
```

## Pro Tips
* Export environment variables `CLOUD_FILES_{APIKEY,USERNAME,AUTH_URL}` in your bash_profile to prevent the need to specify these options each time you run cfupload
* A destination filename must be provided with -o when uploading from standard input
* Pipe your files from standard input to make cronjob backups stupid easy:
`# mysqldump --all-databases | gzip -c | cfupload -o backup-$(date '+%Y%m%d').sql.gz container`
