The author of http://s3tools.org/s3cmd-sync asked for better wording; so here
is my attempt:
With directories there is one thing to watch out for – you can either upload
the directory and its contents or just the contents. It all depends on a slash.
A slash is the directory, the name before the slash is the directory's name:
PATH DESCRIPTION
dir a directory name
dir/ a directory named dir
A component following the specified source directory path is implied:
PATH COMPONENT FOLLOWING PATH
dir directory named dir
dir/ content of directory named dir
To upload a directory, specify the source without the trailing slash:
$ s3cmd put -r dir1 s3://s3tools-demo/some/path/
^copy component following source (directory)
To upload the content of a directory, specify the source with the trailing
slash:
$ s3cmd put -r dir1/ s3://s3tools-demo/some/path/
^copy component following source (directory's content)
That's all there is to it.
I am just starting to learn s3cmd, so this may not be any better or correct.
Edit and use it as you please.
