Feature

COSCMD enables you to use simple command lines to batch-operate objects, such as upload, download, and delete.

Operating Environment

System environment

Windows, Linux, and macOS

Note：

• Local characters should use UTF-8 encoding. Otherwise, exceptions will occur when you operate on Chinese files.
• Ensure that the local time is in sync with UTC. If there is a large deviation between the two, COSCMD might not function properly.

Software requirements

• Python 2.7/3.5/3.6/3.9
• Latest version of pip

  Note：

  You are advised to install the latest version of Python (3.9.0) that is integrated with pip.

Installation and configuration

• For more information about the installation and configuration of the environment, please see Python.
• For more information about the installation and configuration of pip, please see Installation.

Download and Installation

You can install COSCMD in the following three ways:

1.1 Installing with pip

Run the pip command to install COSCMD:

pip install coscmd

After the installation is complete, you can run the -v or --version command to view the version information.

1.2 Upgrading with pip

After the installation is complete, you can run the following command to upgrade COSCMD:

pip install coscmd -U

Note：

If the pip version number is greater than or equal to 10.0.0, a failure may occur when you are upgrading or installing dependent libraries. You are advised to use pip v9.x (pip install pip==9.0.0). If you have installed the latest Python version (for example, 3.9.0), pip has been integrated and does not need to be installed again.

2. Installing with the source code (not recommended)

You can click here to download the source code.

git clone https://github.com/tencentyun/coscmd.git
cd coscmd
python setup.py install

Note：

If your Python version is 2.6, installing the dependent libraries with pip may fail. Therefore, this installation method is recommended.

3. Installing from offline

Note：

Ensure that the two devices are installed with the same version of Python. Otherwise, the installation might fail.

# Run the following commands on a device that is connected to the Internet
mkdir coscmd-packages
pip download coscmd -d coscmd-packages
tar -czvf coscmd-packages.tar.gz coscmd-packages

# Copy the installation package to a device that is not connected to the Internet and run the following commands
tar -xzvf coscmd-packages.tar.gz
pip install coscmd --no-index -f coscmd-packages

Basic configuration items

Certain parameters need to be configured before you use COSCMD. You can run the following commands for the configuration:

Note：

In the following commands, fields enclosed in "[]" are optional, and those in "<>" are required.

coscmd config [OPTION]...<FILE>...
              [-h] --help
              [-a] <SECRET_ID>
              [-s] <SECRET_KEY>
              [-t] <TOKEN>
              [-b] <BucketName-APPID>
              [-r] <REGION> | [-e] <ENDPOINT>
              [-m] <MAX_THREAD>
              [-p] <PART_SIZE>
              [--do-not-use-ssl]
              [--anonymous]   

The following table describes these parameters:

Quick configuration

If you only need to perform basic operations, you can refer to the following operation example for a quick configuration.

Note：

Before the configuration, you need to go to the COS console to create a bucket (e.g., configure-bucket-1250000000) for parameter configuration and create a key.

coscmd config -a AChT4ThiXAbpBDEFGhT4ThiXAbp**** -s WE54wreefvds3462refgwewe**** -b configure-bucket-1250000000 -r ap-chengdu

Modifying the configuration file

In the Windows OS, you can directly edit the .cos.conf file, which is hidden in My Documents. This file does not exist at first and is generated by the coscmd config command. You can also create it manually.

The file content of the configured .cos.conf file is as follows:

[common]
secret_id = AKIDA6wUmImTMzvXZNbGLCgtusZ2E8mG****
secret_key = TghWBCyf5LIyTcXCoBdw1oRpytWk****
bucket = configure-bucket-1250000000
region = ap-chengdu
max_thread = 5
part_size = 1
retry = 5
timeout = 60
schema = https
verify = md5
anonymous = False

Note：

• schema can be set to http or https (default).
• anonymous can be set to True or False. If set to True, the anonymous mode is used (the signature is empty).
• For more information about the parameter description, please run the coscmd config -h command.

Common Bucket Commands

Specifying a bucket and its region

If you do not specify the bucket and region in the commands, the commands take effect for the bucket that is used to configure COSCMD. To perform operations on another bucket, you need to specify the bucket and the region where the bucket resides.

Note：

• Use the -b <BucketName-APPID> parameter to specify the bucket name, which must be formatted as BucketName-APPID.
• Use the -r <region> parameter to specify the region where the bucket resides.

#Command syntax
coscmd -b <BucketName-APPID> -r <region> <action> ...
#Example: Create a bucket named `examplebucket` that resides in the Beijing region.
coscmd -b examplebucket-1250000000 -r ap-beijing createbucket
#Example: Upload a file (picture.jpg) from D drive to the `examplebucket` bucket.
coscmd -b examplebucket-1250000000 -r ap-beijing upload D:/picture.jpg /

Creating a bucket

Note：

Please specify -b <BucketName-APPID> and -r <region> when you run the coscmd createbucket command; otherwise, an error may be reported. This is because if the bucket and region are not specified, this command takes effect for the bucket that is used to configure COSCMD.

#Command syntax
coscmd -b <BucketName-APPID> createbucket
#Example: Create a bucket named `examplebucket` that resides in the Beiijng region.
coscmd -b examplebucket-1250000000 -r ap-beijing createbucket

Deleting a bucket

Note：

coscmd deletebucket takes effect only for the bucket that is used to configure COSCMD. To delete another bucket, run the command with the -b <BucketName-APPID>and -r <region> parameters specified.

#Command syntax
coscmd -b <BucketName-APPID> deletebucket
#Example
coscmd -b examplebucket-1250000000 -r ap-beijing deletebucket
coscmd -b examplebucket-1250000000 -r ap-beijing deletebucket -f

Note：

The -f parameter will forcibly delete the bucket, including all files, noncurrent folders (if versioning is enabled), and incomplete multipart uploads.

Common Object Commands

Uploading a file or folder

• The command for uploading a file is as follows:

#Command syntax
coscmd upload <localpath> <cospath>
#Example
#Upload picture.jpg in D drive to the "doc" directory of COS.
coscmd upload D:/picture.jpg doc/
#Upload picture.jpg in the "doc" folder in D drive to the "doc" directory of COS.
coscmd upload D:/doc/picture.jpg doc/
#Upload the file by specifying the header.
#Upload a file to the ARCHIVE storage class to the "doc" directory of COS.
coscmd upload D:/picture.jpg doc/ -H "{'x-cos-storage-class':'Archive'}"
#Configure the meta attribute.
coscmd upload D:/picture.jpg doc/ -H "{'x-cos-meta-example':'example'}"

• The command for uploading a folder is as follows:

#Command syntax
coscmd upload -r <localpath> <cospath>
#Example: Upload the "doc" folder in D drive to the root directory of COS.
coscmd upload -r D:/doc /
#Upload the folder to the "doc" directory of COS.
coscmd upload -r D:/doc doc
#Upload the folder synchronously while skipping those with the same MD5 value.
coscmd upload -rs D:/doc doc
#Upload the folder synchronously and delete files that are deleted in the "doc" folder in D drive.
coscmd upload -rs --delete D:/doc /
#Ignore uploading files whose extension is .txt or .doc in the "doc" folder in D drive.
coscmd upload -rs D:/doc / --ignore *.txt,*.doc

Note：

• Replace "localpath" and "cospath" enclosed in "<>" with the path of the local file to upload and the COS storage path, respectively.
• If the file to upload is larger than 10 MB, COSCMD will upload with multipart upload. The command is coscmd upload <localpath> <cospath> (same as simple upload).
• COSCMD supports checkpoint restart to resume the upload of large files. When the multipart upload of a large file fails, only the failed parts will be uploaded when the operation is resumed instead of starting over from scratch (please ensure that the directory and content of the re-uploaded file are consistent with the uploaded directory).
• COSCMD performs MD5 verification on each part during multipart upload.
• The x-cos-meta-md5 header is included by default when COSCMD uploads a file, and its value is the same as the file’s MD5 value.
• Use the -s parameter to upload files synchronously while skipping those with the same MD5 value (please note that the source files in COS must have been uploaded using COSCMD v1.8.3.2 or above; the x-cos-meta-md5 header is included by default).
• When you set the HTTP header with the -H parameter, please use the JSON format (for example, coscmd upload -H "{'x-cos-storage-class':'Archive','Content-Language':'zh-CN'}" <localpath> <cospath>. For more information about the headers, please see PUT Object.
• When uploading folders, you can ignore certain types of files by using the --ignore parameter. Multiple shell wildcard rules (separated by commas ,) are supported. To ignore a specified extension, , must be added at the end, or "" must be used to enclose the extension.
• Currently, a single file of up to 40 TB can be uploaded.

Querying a file list

The query command is as follows:

#Command syntax
coscmd list <cospath>
#Example
coscmd list doc/
#Recursively query the file list, number of files, and the file sizes of a bucket.
coscmd list -ar
#Recursively query the list of all files prefixed with "examplefolder".
coscmd list examplefolder/ -ar
#Query the historical versions of all files in a bucket.
coscmd list -v

Note：

• Replace "cospath" enclosed in "<>" with the COS path of the file list to query. If <cospath> is empty, the root directory of the current bucket is queried.
• Use -a to query all files.
• Use -r to query files recursively. The number and total size of the files are listed at the end of the returned result.
• Use -n num to set the maximum number of files to query.

Viewing the file information

The command is as follows:

#Command syntax
coscmd info <cospath> 

#Example
coscmd info doc/picture.jpg

Note：

Replace "cospath" enclosed in "<>" with the COS path of the file to query.

Downloading a file or folder

• The command for downloading a file is as follows:

#Command syntax
coscmd download <cospath> <localpath>
#Example
coscmd download doc/ D:/
coscmd download doc/folder/ D:/
#Download picture.jpg with a specified version ID to D drive.
coscmd download picture.jpg --versionId MTg0NDUxMzc2OTM4NTExNTg7Tjg D:/

• The command for downloading a folder is as follows:

#Command syntax
coscmd download -r <cospath> <localpath>
#Example
coscmd download -r doc D:/
coscmd download -r doc D:/folder/
#Download files in the root directory while ignoring those in the "doc" directory that is under the root directory.
coscmd download -r / D:/ --ignore doc/*
#Download all files in the root directory of the current bucket and overwrite local files.
coscmd download -rf / D:/examplefolder/
#Synchronously download all files in the root directory of the current bucket while skipping those with the same MD5 value.
coscmd download -rs / D:/examplefolder
#Synchronously download all files in the root directory of the current bucket and delete local files that have been deleted in cloud.
coscmd download -rs --delete / D:/examplefolder
#Ignore files with the .txt or .doc extension.
coscmd download -rs / D:/examplefolder --ignore *.txt,*.doc

Note：

• Replace "cospath" and "localpath" enclosed in "<>" with the COS path of the file to download and the local storage path, respectively.
• Since the old mget API is no longer in use, please use the download API for multipart downloads.
• If a file with the same name exists locally, the download will fail. In this case, you need to use the -f parameter to overwrite the local file.
• Use the -s or --sync parameter to skip identical files that already exist locally when downloading a folder (provided that the downloaded files were uploaded via the COSCMD upload API and the x- cos-meta-md5 header was included).
• When downloading folders, you can ignore certain types of files by using the --ignore parameter. Multiple shell wildcard rules (separated by commas ,) are supported. To ignore a specified extension, , must be added at the end, or "" must be used to enclose the extension.

Getting signed download URLs

The command is as follows:

#Command syntax
coscmd signurl <cospath>

#Example
coscmd signurl doc/picture.jpg
coscmd signurl doc/picture.jpg -t 100

Note：

• Replace "cospath" enclosed in "<>" with the COS path of the file for which you need to get the download URL.
• Use -t time to set the effective period (in seconds) of the query signature.

Deleting a file or folder

• The command for deleting a file is as follows:

#Command syntax
coscmd delete <cospath>
#Example
coscmd delete doc/exampleobject.txt
#Delete a file with a specified version ID.
coscmd delete doc/exampleobject.txt --versionId MTg0NDUxMzc4ODA3NTgyMTErEWN

• The command for deleting a folder is as follows:

#Command syntax
coscmd delete -r <cospath>
#Example
coscmd delete -r doc
coscmd delete -r folder/doc
#Delete all files with version IDs in the "doc" directory.
coscmd delete -r doc/ --versions

Note：

• Replace "cospath" enclosed in "<>" with the COS path of the file to delete. You will be prompted to confirm this operation.
• You need to enter y to confirm a batch delete operation. You can skip this step if the -f parameter is used.
• Note that the delete folder command will delete the current folder as well as the files in it. To delete a versioning-enabled file, you need to specify a version ID.

Viewing incomplete multipart uploads

• The command is as follows:

#Command syntax
coscmd listparts <cospath>
#Example
coscmd listparts doc/

Clearing incomplete multipart uploads

• The command is as follows:

#Command syntax
coscmd abort
#Example
coscmd abort

• The source path is formatted as <BucketName-APPID>.cos.<region>.myqcloud.com/<cospath>.
• Use the -d parameter to set the x-cos-metadata-directive header. Valid values are Copy (default) and Replaced.
• When setting the HTTP header with the -H parameter, please use the JSON format (for example, coscmd copy -H -d Replaced "{'x-cos-storage-class':'Archive','Content-Language':'zh-CN'}" <localpath> <cospath>. For more information about the headers, please see PUT Object - Copy.

Moving a file or folder

• The command for moving a file is as follows:

#Command syntax
coscmd move <sourcepath> <cospath> 
#Example
#Intra-bucket movement: Move picture.jpg in the `examplebucket-1250000000` bucket to the "doc" directory.
coscmd -b examplebucket-1250000000 -r ap-chengdu move examplebucket-1250000000.ap-chengdu.myqcloud.com/picture.jpg doc/
#Cross-bucket movement: Move picture.jpg in the `examplebucket2-1250000000` bucket to doc/folder/ in the `examplebucket1-1250000000` bucket.
