Simple AWS Uploader

This is a Mac/UNIX simple script to zip and upload your current working directory to an AWS S3 bucket.

For example, if you're in a directory called myDir, and your AWS folder (see step 1 below) is my/cloud/folder, the contents of myDir will be zipped and placed at s3://my/cloud/folder/myDir.zip.

Setup

• You must have AWS command line tools installed.
• You must have Nodejs installed.
• You should have a file ~/.aws/credentials with your credentials listed, like so:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = <YOUR_ID>
aws_secret_access_key = <YOUR_KEY>

Note: this script does not work with profiles.

1. Open index.js and add the s3 folder you want to upload to between the single quotes on line 6.

• You can either write node <path/to/index.js> or rename index.js and put it in /usr/bin/local. I call it pfu (project file upload). To do that:

cp index.js /usr/local/bin/pfu

Then you can just type pfu in any directory to zip it and put it in s3.
