NAME

mput - create an object

SYNOPSIS

mput [OPTION...] OBJECT

DESCRIPTION

mput creates an object specified at the name OBJECT with the contents either coming from stdin, or from the file specified with -f. mput will attempt to set the HTTP Content-Type based on the extension on the object, unless Content-Type is specified as an HTTP header. If mput cannot determine the type based on the extension the default content-type is usually application/octet-stream, but this can be overriden by setting the environment variable MANTA_DEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE (or passing -H).

By default, mput creates two copies of an object; this can be overridden with -c. Lastly, mput also draws a progress meter by default; this can be disabled with -q.

EXAMPLES

Create an object with the contents of foo.txt. Content-type will be text/plain.

mput -f ./foo.txt ~~/stor/foo.txt

Create the same object from stdin, and set content-type.

cat ./foo.txt | mput -H 'content-type: text/plain' ~~/stor/foo.txt

Create the same object, set CORS header, and create 3 copies, with no progress bar:

cat ./foo.txt | mput -H 'content-type: text/plain' \
                       -H 'access-control-allow-origin: *' \
                       -c 3 -q \
                       ~~/stor/foo.txt

OPTIONS

-a, --account login Authenticate as account (login name).

-c, --copies file Create COPIES copies as a replication factor (default 2).

-f, --file file Create contents of object from file.

-h, --help Print a help message and exit.

-i, --insecure This option explicitly allows "insecure" SSL connections and transfers. All SSL connections are attempted to be made secure by using the CA certificate bundle installed by default.

-k, --key fingerprint Authenticate using the SSH key described by FINGERPRINT. The key must either be in ~/.ssh or loaded in the SSH agent via ssh-add.

-m, --md5 When using --file, this switch instructs mput to first compute the MD5 of the file and send it in content-md5.

-p, --parents Create parent directories as needed.

-q, --quiet Do not display a progress meter.

--role=ROLE,ROLE,... Specify which roles to assume for the request.

--role-tag=ROLE,ROLE,... Set the role tags on the created object.

--user user Authenticate as user under account.

-u, --url url Manta base URL (such as https://us-central.manta.mnx.io).

-v, --verbose Print debug output to stderr. Repeat option to increase verbosity.

ENVIRONMENT

MANTA_USER In place of -a, --account.

MANTA_SUBUSER In place of --user.

MANTA_KEY_ID In place of -k, --key.

MANTA_ROLE In place of --role.

MANTA_URL In place of -u, --url.

MANTA_TLS_INSECURE In place of -i, --insecure.

The shortcut ~~ is equivalent to /:login where :login is the account login name.

DIAGNOSTICS

When using the -v option, diagnostics will be sent to stderr in bunyan output format. As an example of tracing all information about a request, try:

mput -vv ~~/stor/foo 2>&1 | bunyan

BUGS

DSA keys do not work when loaded via the SSH agent.
