It lets you upload and download files, perform rsync-like backups, encrypt data with GPG, and manage CloudFront distributions\u2014all without leaving the terminal. The tool depends on python-dateutil for date handling and python-magic for file type detection.\n\nThe package is classified as Production/Stable and supports Python 2.6 through 3.12, though it has not been actively maintained for over two years. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Unix-like systems, making it portable across common platforms. For users already invested in S3 workflows or needing a lightweight CLI alternative to AWS's own tools, it remains functional; however, the dormant maintenance status means no updates for recent AWS API changes or security improvements.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a lightweight, self-contained S3 CLI and are comfortable with dormant maintenance. The low install friction and stable classifier make it usable for straightforward file transfer tasks. However, do not rely on it for new projects requiring active support\u2014consider AWS CLI or boto3 instead if you need ongoing compatibility with AWS API changes."},"id":"s3cmd","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/s3cmd","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/s3cmd.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/s3cmd/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-12-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"s3cmd","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Command line tool for managing Amazon S3 and CloudFront services"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1553465,"position":3771,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.4.0"}
