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

Assume that the source bucket bucket-src contains the following objects:

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

Assume that the destination bucket bucket-dest contains the following objects:

obs://bucket-dest/src1/
obs://bucket-dest/src1/test3.txt

Based on the structure of objects in the bucket, different synchronous copy scenarios require different commands.

To synchronize all files and subfolders in the src1 folder in bucket bucket-src to the src1 folder in bucket bucket-dest, the command is as follows:

./obsutil sync obs://bucket-src/src1  obs://bucket-dest/src1

After the synchronous copy is complete, the objects in the destination bucket bucket-dest are as follows:

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