Copy

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

Assume that bucket bucket-src contains the following objects:

obs://bucket-src/test1.txt
obs://bucket-src/test2.txt
obs://bucket-src/test3.txt
obs://bucket-src/test4.txt
obs://bucket-src/test5.txt
obs://bucket-src/test6.txt
obs://bucket-src/src1/
obs://bucket-src/src1/test7.txt
obs://bucket-src/src2/
obs://bucket-src/src2/test8.txt
obs://bucket-src/src2/src3/
obs://bucket-src/src2/src3/test9.txt

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

• To copy the test1.txt file from the bucket-src bucket to the bucket-dest bucket, use the following command:

  ./obsutil cp obs://bucket-src/test1.txt  obs://bucket-dest

  After the copy is complete, the following object is generated in bucket bucket-dest:

  obs://bucket-dest/test1.txt

• To copy the contents of the test1.txt file in the bucket-src bucket to the test.txt file in the bucket-dest bucket, use the following command:

  ./obsutil cp obs://bucket-src/test1.txt  obs://bucket-dest/test.txt

  After the copy is complete, the following object is generated in bucket bucket-dest:

  obs://bucket-dest/test.txt

• To copy the test1.txt file in the bucket-src bucket to the test folder in the bucket-dest bucket, use the following command:

  ./obsutil cp obs://bucket-src/test1.txt  obs://bucket-dest/test/

  After the copy is complete, the following object is generated in bucket bucket-dest:

  obs://bucket-dest/test/test1.txt

• To recursively copy the entire src2 folder from the bucket-src bucket to the bucket-dest bucket in force mode, use the following command:

  ./obsutil cp obs://bucket-src/src2  obs://bucket-dest -r -f

  After the copy is complete, the following objects are generated in bucket bucket-dest:

  obs://bucket-dest/src2/
  obs://bucket-dest/src2/test8.txt
  obs://bucket-dest/src2/src3/
  obs://bucket-dest/src2/src3/test9.txt

• To recursively copy all files and subfolders from the src2 folder in the bucket-src bucket to the bucket-dest bucket in force mode, use the following command:

  ./obsutil cp obs://bucket-src/src2  obs://bucket-dest -r -f -flat

  After the copy is complete, the following objects are generated in bucket bucket-dest:

  obs://bucket-dest/test8.txt
  obs://bucket-dest/src3/
  obs://bucket-dest/src3/test9.txt
