OpenStack Object Storage (swift)

installing swift client tool

Asked by victor

how do I install ONLY the swift tool on a client machine that needs to talk to a openstack swift storage?

I copy the /bin/st file and tried running that which doesn't work.

I did not install the swift storage but I need to run some batch script in unix(centos or ubuntu) to download/upload some files to the swift storage.

The st/swift script is self contained:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~hudson-openstack/swift/trunk/view/head:/bin/swift

You should be able to copy it to a host and run it without having to install Swift packages on the systems. What error where you getting when you attempted to use it ?

Ahh I might have got an older version. I copied bin/st instead of bin/swift. I will give that a shot again thanks :)

 bin/swift -A https://example:8080/auth/v1.0 -U myAccessKey -K mySecretKey stat

i tried the above but got the error

File "bin/swift", line 164
    proxy_parsed = urlparse(proxy) if proxy else None

Am i doing something wrong?
