Cloudfiles-sync

This is a script that allows the syncronisation of Rackspace Cloudfiles (Or any SWIFT object store) with a local directory. Currently it allows the user to pipe a list of files into it that are to be uploaded to cloud files.

Features

• Lightweight - Currently the only non standard python library required is python-cloudfiles. The aim is NOT to require anything else, and hence ensuring maximum portability
• Support for Cloudfiles UK and US along with any SWIFT object store
• Comparision of files to ensure Bandwidth is not wasted by comparing the remote & local MD5 and Modified Time
• Removal of files that do not exist in the source from the destination
• Quiet by default - Allows the script to run as a cron without any noise
• Verbose mode - Useful for logging or debuging
• Progress - a simple progress report
