Use s3cmd to interact with your NetActuate S3-compatible object store (RGW). This page covers installation, configuration, and common operations.

Prerequisites​

  • Access Key and Secret Key (provided by NetActuate)
  • Object Store Endpoint

Install s3cmd​

sudo apt update
sudo apt install s3cmd -y

Configure s3cmd​

s3cmd --configure

Enter the following when prompted:

Access Key: <your-access-key>
Secret Key: <your-secret-key>
S3 Endpoint: <endpoint:port>
Use HTTPS: Yes
DNS-style bucket+hostname template: <endpoint:port>

Examples​

# List buckets
s3cmd ls

# Create a bucket
s3cmd mb s3://mybucket

# Upload a file
s3cmd put file.txt s3://mybucket/

# Download a file
s3cmd get s3://mybucket/file.txt

# Make a file public
s3cmd setacl s3://mybucket/file.txt --acl-public

# Sync a folder
s3cmd sync ./local-folder/ s3://mybucket/

Public Access​

  • Objects are private by default.
  • To make objects public:
    • Use s3cmd setacl --acl-public on individual objects.
    • Or disable "private" in the portal, which applies a bucket policy allowing public read access.
