acd_cli provides a command line interface to Amazon Cloud Drive and allows mounting your cloud drive using FUSE for read access. It is currently in beta stage.
- local node metadata caching
- addressing of remote nodes via a pathname (e.g.
/Photos/kitten.jpg) - simultaneous uploads/downloads, retry on error
- basic plugin support
- tree or flat listing of files and folders
- upload/download of single files and directories
- stream upload/download
- folder creation
- trashing/restoring
- moving/renaming nodes
The easiest way is to directly install from PyPI. Please check which pip command is appropriate for Python 3 packages in your environment. I will be using 'pip3' in the examples.
pip3 install --upgrade --pre acdcli
The most up-to-date way is to directly install from github.
pip3 install --upgrade git+https://github.com/yadayada/acd_cli.git
If you do not want to install, have a look at the necessary dependencies.
On the first start of the program (try acd_cli sync), you will have to complete the OAuth procedure.
A browser tab will open and you will be asked to log in or grant access for 'acd_cli_oa'.
Signing in or clicking on 'Continue' will download a JSON file named oauth_data,
which must be placed in the cache directory displayed on screen (e.g. /home/<USER>/.cache/acd_cli).
You may view the source code of the Appspot app that is used to handle the server part of the OAuth procedure at https://tensile-runway-92512.appspot.com/src.
Alternatively, you may put your own security profile data in a file called client_data in the cache directory.
It needs to be created prior to starting the program and adhere to the following form.
{
"CLIENT_ID": "",
"CLIENT_SECRET": ""
}Your security profile must be able to redirect to http://localhost.
The procedure is similar to the above, the difference is that you will
be asked to paste the redirect URL into your shell.
Most actions need the node cache to be initialized and up-to-date, so please run a sync. A sync will fetch the changes since the last sync or the full node list if the cache is empty.
The following actions are built in
sync (s) refresh node list cache; necessary for many actions clear-cache (cc) clear node cache [offline operation] tree (t) print directory tree [offline operation] children (ls) list a folder's children [offline operation] find (f) find nodes by name [offline operation] [case insensitive] find-md5 (fm) find files by MD5 hash [offline operation] find-regex (fr) find nodes by regular expression [offline operation] [case insensitive] upload (ul) file and directory upload to a remote destination overwrite (ov) overwrite file A [remote] with content of file B [local] stream (st) upload the standard input stream to a file download (dl) download a remote folder or file; will skip existing local files cat output a file to the standard output stream create (c, mkdir) create folder using an absolute path list-trash (lt) list trashed nodes [offline operation] trash (rm) move node to trash restore (re) restore node from trash move (mv) move node A into folder B rename (rn) rename a node resolve (rs) resolve a path to a node ID [offline operation] usage (u) show drive usage data quota (q) show drive quota [raw JSON] metadata (m) print a node's metadata [raw JSON] mount mount the cloud drive at a local directory umount unmount cloud drive(s)
Please run acd_cli --help to get a current list of the available actions. A list of further
arguments of an action and their order can be printed by calling acd_cli [action] --help.
Most node arguments may be specified as a 22 character ID or a UNIX-style path. Trashed nodes' paths might not be able to be resolved correctly; use their ID instead.
The number of concurrent transfers can be specified using the argument -x [no].
When uploading/downloading large amounts of files, it is advisable to save the log messages to a file.
This can be done by using the verbose argument and appending 2> >(tee acd.log >&2) to the command.
Files can be excluded via optional parameter by file ending, e.g. -xe bak,
or regular expression on the whole file name, e.g. -xr "^thumbs\.db$".
Both exclusion methods are case insensitive.
When the script is done running, its exit status can be checked for flags. If no error occurs, the exit status will be 0. Possible flag values are:
| flag | value |
|---|---|
| general error | 1 |
| argument error | 2 |
| failed file transfer | 8 |
| upload timeout | 16 |
| hash mismatch | 32 |
| error creating folder | 64 |
| file size mismatch | 128 |
| cache outdated | 256 |
| remote duplicate | 512 |
| duplicate inode | 1024 |
If multiple errors occur, their values will be compounded by a binary OR operation.
First, create an empty mount directory, then run acd_cli mount path/to/mountpoint.
To unmount later, run acd_cli umount.

Requests supports HTTP(S) proxies via environment
variables. Since all connections to Amazon Cloud Drive are using HTTPS, you need to
set the variable HTTPS_PROXY. The following example shows how to do that in a bash-compatible
environment.
$ export HTTPS_PROXY="https://user:[email protected]:8080/"
In this example, a two-level folder hierarchy is created in an empty cloud drive.
Then, a relative local path local/spam is uploaded recursively using two connections.
$ acd_cli sync
Syncing...
Done.
$ acd_cli ls /
[PHwiEv53QOKoGFGqYNl8pw] [A] /
$ acd_cli mkdir /egg/
$ acd_cli mkdir /egg/bacon/
$ acd_cli upload -x 2 local/spam/ /egg/bacon/

The standard node listing format includes the node ID, the first letter of its status and its full path. Possible statuses are "AVAILABLE" and "TRASH".
Please run acd_cli delete-everything first to delete your authentication and node data in the cache path.
Then, use pip to uninstall:
pip3 uninstall acdcli
Then, revoke the permission for acd_cli_oa to access your cloud drive in your Amazon profile,
more precisely at https://www.amazon.com/ap/adam.
It is not possible to upload files using Python 3.2.3, 3.3.0 and 3.3.1.
If you encounter Unicode problems, check that your locale is set correctly or use the --utf
argument to force the script to use UTF-8 output encoding.
Windows users may try to execute the provided reg file
(tested with Windows 8.1) to set the command line interface encoding to cp65001.
- the current upload file size limit is 50GiB
- uploads of large files >10 GiB may be successful, yet a timeout error is displayed (please check manually)
- storage of node names is case-preserving, but not case-sensitive (this concerns Linux users mainly)
- it is not possible to share or delete files
Have a look at the contributing guidelines.
- appdirs
- dateutils (recommended)
- requests >= 2.1.0
- requests-toolbelt (recommended)
- sqlalchemy
Recommended packages are not strictly necessary; but they will be preferred to workarounds (in the case of dateutils) and bundled modules (requests-toolbelt).
If you want to the dependencies using your distribution's packaging system and
are using a distro based on Debian 'jessie', the necessary packages are
python3-appdirs python3-dateutil python3-requests python3-sqlalchemy.
For the mounting feature, fuse >= 2.6 is needed according to pyfuse. On a Debian-based distribution, the according package should simply be named 'fuse'.
- FUSE read support added
- sync speed-up
- node listing format changed
- optional node listing coloring added (for Linux or via LS_COLORS)
- re-added possibility for local OAuth
- curl dependency removed
- added job queue, simultaneous transfers
- retry on error
- setuptools support
- workaround for download of files larger than 10 GiB
- automatic resuming of downloads
