Presss uploads objects to and downloads objects from from Amazon S3. It's a tiny companion to a more complete implementation like AWS SDK.
You can install Presss as a Rubygem or directly from the Git repository if you prefer.
You start by configuring Presss globally to use a certain bucket in a region with your credentials.
Presss.config = {
region: 'eu-west-1',
bucket_name: 'my-bucket-name',
access_key_id: 'access key ID',
secret_access_key: 'access key secret'
}
For valid regions see the AWS documentation. You can test if a region works by getting the hostname for it. In this example the region is eu-west-1.
$ host s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com
The put method uploads anything that responds to either a read or to_s method. Currently the entire upload is stored in memory so it's not too great at uploading large files.
File.open('as6745it.zip') do |file|
Presss.put('books/12/as6745it.zip', file, 'application/zip')
end
The get methods downloads the remote object and stores it in a string. Like with the put method this doesn't make it ideal for downloading large files.
Presss.get('books/12/as6745it.zip')
