Good afternoon, everyone!

It's my first time, so hopefully you can help me out.

Lately I have been experimenting with Amazon S3 and s3ql, I need to mount 
the bucket on ec2 and to access the data ( write/read ) stored on it like 
files,images, videos etc.

I have followed the instructions on
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/s3ql/uUAnL3Rd4bM , which by the way 
worked great!!

I have accomplished to mount the filesystem, but I have a few dudes:

sudo mkfs.s3ql --plain --force s3://container Enter backend login: asdf 
Enter backend password: asdf Before using S3QL, make sure to read the 
user's guide, especially the 'Important Rules to Avoid Loosing Data' 
section. Purging existing file system data.. Please note that the new file 
system may appear inconsistent for a while until the removals have 
propagated through the backend. Creating metadata tables... Dumping 
metadata... ..objects.. ..blocks.. ..inodes.. ..inode_blocks.. 
..symlink_targets.. ..names.. ..contents.. ..ext_attributes.. Compressing 
and uploading metadata... Wrote 0.00 MB of compressed metadata.

sudo mount.s3ql --allow-other s3://container /mnt/s3ql Using 10 upload 
threads. Enter backend login: asdf Enter backend password: asdf Using 
cached metadata. Mounting filesystem...

   1. 
   
   When list (ls) the contents of the mounted directory, using de 
   commandline in ec2, all that shows to me is lost+found. But When I see the 
   content of the bucket using the web console in s3 I see files like: 
   s3ql_metadata s3ql_seq_no_1 Why can't I see these files on my mounted 
   directory? and what do they represent?
   2. 
   
   I made a new directory, using commandline in the s3ql directory with: 
   sudo mkdir test-dir sudo touch testfile.txt
   
But I can't see these files in the web console of my bucket in s3.

Am I missing something? how do I push data towards s3 If I already mount 
the bucket on the ec2. Do I have to use s3qlctrl to push data?

3- This one is conceptual if for example I need to save my_photo.jpg in the 
bucket and I use s3ql, the file will be saved, and I will be able to see it 
with the web console like "my_photo.jpg " or it will be saved in another 
format?

I would really appreciate your help!
