OpenStack Object Storage (swift)

download everything in a directory swift tool

Asked by victor

is it possible to download everything in a directory?

I have the following hierachy, container->directory. I notice that a directory is simply a prefix of the directory to the file name.

You would have to write some wrapper on swift, to recursively download files.

Looks like I was wrong. Using swift tool you can download everything in a directory:
swift -A https://x.x.x.x:8080/auth/v1.0 -U system:root -K pass download container_name

that will download everything in a container but not from a "directory" within the container.

All right, so you simulate directories using file prefix? I misunderstood. If so, follow my initial advice ;)

Can you help with this problem?
