Synchronous Upload

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

Assume that a local folder is in the following structure:

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

Assume that bucket bucket-test contains the following objects:

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

Based on the structure of the preceding local folder and objects in the bucket, different synchronous upload scenarios require different commands.

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

    After the synchronization is successful, the test3.txt file is directly uploaded to the bucket because there is no test3.txt in bucket bucket-test. Then, objects in the bucket are as follows:

    obs://bucket-test/test3.txt
obs://bucket-test/src1/
obs://bucket-test/src1/src2/
obs://bucket-test/src1/src2/test1.txt
obs://bucket-test/src1/src3/
  • To synchronize all files and subfolders in the local src1 folder to the src folder in bucket bucket-test, the command is as follows: 
    ./obsutil sync /src1  obs://bucket-test/src1

    After the synchronization, the objects in the bucket are as follows:

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