Maybe some off topic here. The description of s3cmd is outdated. It's *not* useless without AWS. It can be used with self-hosted S3 protocol compatible service, such as Ceph RGW, minio[1]. Both are free softwares, and Ceph is in our main archive. [1] https://github.com/minio/minio -- Best regards, Shengjing Zhu
