Boto - Uploading file to a specific location on Amazon S3

Question

This is the code I\'m working from

import sys
import boto
import boto.s3

# AWS ACCESS DETAILS
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = \'\'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = \'\'

bucket_         


        

Answer 1

All you should have to do is prepend the virtual directory path to the key name prior to uploading. For example:

key_name = 'my test file'
path = 'images/holiday'
full_key_name = os.path.join(path, key_name)
k = bucket.new_key(full_key_name)
k.set_contents_from_filename(...)

You may have to change that a bit for your application but hopefully that gives you the basic idea.

Answer 2

You can also use this:

from boto.s3.key import Key

bucket = conn.get_bucket('images')
k = Key(bucket)
k.key = 'holiday/my_test_file.txt'

It works like this in my s3_percent_uploader

python.exe s3_percent_uploader.py test_upload.txt testbucket test/upload.txt

after upload file will be in testbucket/test/upload.txt
