About s5cmd

s5cmd is a command-line tool, written in Go, for working with S3 storage and the local filesystem. It runs many operations in parallel, which makes large copies and syncs between a machine and an S3 bucket much quicker than handling files one at a time.

The repository includes benchmarks, a changelog and a Dockerfile. It suits developers and administrators who move large numbers of files to or from S3-compatible storage from scripts or the terminal.

Strengths

  • Parallel execution for fast bulk transfers
  • Works on both S3 and local filesystems
  • Single Go binary, also available as a Docker image

Limitations

  • Command-line only, no graphical interface
  • Focused on S3 rather than other cloud storage protocols
