CloudSink

A Rackspace Cloud Files directory sync tool that isn't awful

Install NodeJS and NPM:

npm install -g cloudsink

Upload a directory:

cloudsink --source PATH --target CONTAINER --username ... --apikey ... --region IAD

For very very large tasks, I recommend wrapping the command with "watch", so that the upload loops forever.

watch 'cloudsink --source PATH --target CONTAINER --username ... --apikey ... --region IAD'

Check the help: cloudsink --help

Options to know about:

-F for fastmode - don't check MD5 sums of files, just validate existence by name
-S for ServiceNet
-f for filter - ex: -f "*.jpg"

TODOS:

Allow the MD5 checking to be optional (ie: the filename is enough to skip an upload)
Fix issue with MD5 sum of files with special charcters in the name
Write a bunch of tests
Ensure symlink conditions work as expected
Support for compression (extract-archive)
