s3zilla

An S3 file-transfer client for Windows, developed in Python

See the documentation for setting up your S3 API keys, especially the Configuration Settings and Precedence section. Typically use environment variables or the AWS credentials file. Neither requires any changes in the code. Simply set your API keys with your method of choice and start using the program.

This application assumes that at least one bucket has been created in the AWS Console; it will list all available buckets that are accessible with the S3 Access/Secret keys being used.

A trailing / after a name in the file explorer denotes a directory. A local directory may only be uploaded to S3 using s3zilla if it contains at least one file. S3 itself doesn't really have a concept of folders, but s3zilla directory uploads will follow the same structure as the given folder being uploaded. Therefor directories found in an S3 bucket that are visible within s3zilla are not actually directories; they are a representation of directories that are actually S3 file objects.

For example, if a directory is uploaded to S3 from your local machine with the name test/ and contains two files named test1.pdf and test2.docx, they will appear as test/test1.pdf and test/test2.docx in S3.

Likewise if an S3 object named test/some_folder/file.txt is downloaded from S3 to the local machine, a folder named test/ will be placed in the chosen local directory. It will contain another folder named some_folder that contains file.txt. These directories will be created if they do not already exist.

s3zilla does not currently have the capability to set private/public/readOnly ACLs on uploaded file-objects; AWS now disables this feature by default when creating a new bucket.

Multiple files can be selected at once when uploading, downloading, and/or deleting local files and remote S3 objects.

Requirements: pip install boto3
