S3Cmd Modifications - Monday

This week I'm going to work on one of the pain points I ran into during the zip code project. Specifically s3cmd lacks a few features that would be nice to have. After completion I'll see if the project owners are interested in integrating my changes back into the original product.

Project Summary: Modify the s3cmd project to support new features and expand on old ones. Contribute modifications back to the community.

Features

• Cloudfront Default Root Object Support
• Parralel Uploads and Downloads
• Better support for very large buckets and files
• Automatic file splitting and joining of large files (> 2Gb)
• s3sync local caching

If There's Time

• Look at the s3fuse project as well as s3cmd and see if that could be worked on.
