All commands in this section use the Linux operating system as an example to describe how to upload files.

Assume that a local folder is in the following structure:

└── src1
    ├── src2
        ├── test1.txt
        └── test2.txt
    ├── src3
    └── test3.txt

Based on the preceding folder structure, different upload scenarios require different commands.

• To upload the test3.txt file in the local src1 folder to the root directory of bucket bucket-test, the command is as follows:

  ./obsutil cp /src1/test3.txt  obs://bucket-test

  After the upload completes, the following object is generated in the bucket:

  ./obs://bucket-test/test3.txt

• To upload the test3.txt file in the local src1 folder to the root directory of bucket bucket-test and rename it to aaa.txt, the command is as follows:

  ./obsutil cp /src1/test3.txt  obs://bucket-test/aaa.txt

  After the upload completes, the following object is generated in the bucket:

  ./obs://bucket-test/aaa.txt

• To upload the test3.txt file in the local src1 folder to the src folder in bucket bucket-test, the command is as follows:

  ./obsutil cp /src1/test3.txt  obs://bucket-test/src/

  After the upload completes, the following object is generated in the bucket:

  ./obs://bucket-test/src/test3.txt

• To recursively upload the entire local src2 folder to the root directory of bucket bucket-test in force mode, the command is as follows:

  ./obsutil cp /src1/src2  obs://bucket-test -r -f

  After the upload completes, the following objects are generated in the bucket:

  obs://bucket-test/src2/
  obs://bucket-test/src2/test1.txt
  obs://bucket-test/src2/test2.txt

• To recursively upload the entire local src1 folder to the src folder in bucket bucket-test in force mode, the command is as follows:

  ./obsutil cp /src1  obs://bucket-test/src -r -f

  After the upload completes, the following objects are generated in the bucket:

  obs://bucket-test/src/src1/
  obs://bucket-test/src/src1/src2/
  obs://bucket-test/src/src1/src2/test1.txt
  obs://bucket-test/src/src1/src2/test2.txt
  obs://bucket-test/src/src1/src3/
  obs://bucket-test/src/src1/test3.txt

• To recursively upload the all files and subfolders in the local src1 folder to the src folder in bucket bucket-test in force mode, the command is as follows:

  ./obsutil cp /src1  obs://bucket-test/src -r -f -flat

  After the upload completes, the following objects are generated in the bucket:

  obs://bucket-test/src/
  obs://bucket-test/src/src2/
  obs://bucket-test/src/src2/test1.txt
  obs://bucket-test/src/src2/test2.txt
  obs://bucket-test/src/src3/
  obs://bucket-test/src/test3.txt

• To upload the file1 file to the bucket-test bucket, and resume the upload if the upload fails, run the following commands:

  ./obsutil cp /file1  obs://bucket-test/file -f

  The upload fails. The command output is as follows:

  ./obsutil cp /file1 obs://bucket-test/file -f
  
  Parallel:      3                   Jobs:          3
  Threshold:     524288000           PartSize:      5242880
  Exclude:                           Include:
  VerifyLength:  false               VerifyMd5:     false
  CheckpointDir: xxxx
  
  [=================================__________________] 66.08% ?/s 3.35GB/4.88GB ?

  Run the preceding command again to resume the upload. The command output is as follows:

  obsutil cp /file1 obs://bucket-test/file -f

  Parallel:      3                   Jobs:          3
  Threshold:     524288000           PartSize:      5242880
  Exclude:                           Include:
  VerifyLength:  false               VerifyMd5:     false
  CheckpointDir: xxxx

  Upload successfully, 4.88GB, n/a, /file1 --> obs://bucket-test/file, cost [6325], status [200], request id [xxxxx]

• To incrementally upload all files from the local src1 folder to the src directory of bucket bucket-test, the command is as follows:

  ./obsutil cp /src1  obs://bucket-test/src -f -r -u

  Four objects are successfully uploaded, one of which is a new object. The command output contains Skip count.

  ./obsutil cp /src1 obs://bucket-test/src -f -r -u

  Metrics [max cost:6 ms, min cost:6 ms, average cost:1.50 ms, average tps:52.63, uploaded size :2.09KB]

• Run the following command to exclude the src2 folder (including all files and folders contained) when uploading the src1 folder:

  ./obsutil cp /src1  obs://bucket-test/src -exclude "*src1/src2*" -f -r -mf

  Five objects are successfully uploaded, and the upload information contains exclude and the specific content.

  ./obsutil cp /src1  obs://bucket-test/src -exclude "*src1/src2*" -f -r -mf

  Metrics [max cost:338 ms, min cost:91 ms, average cost:240.40 ms, average tps:14.62, transfered size:2.39KB]

  After the upload completes, the following objects are generated in the bucket:

  obs://bucket-test/src/src1/
  obs://bucket-test/src/src1/src3/
  obs://bucket-test/src/src1/test3.txt

Resumable upload is available only for large files. Specifically, the file size is greater than 5 GB or the file size is greater than the threshold (50 MB by default).
