Enhancement: move/rename and copy commands #525

Closed gwk closed 5 years ago

gwk commented 5 years ago

I have just read through b2 help and see no way to rename file within a bucket, or copy a file from one bucket to another. Is this possible? If not, could it be added in the future? Thank you!

The B2 service does not have move/rename. Nor do the other object storage services.

Copy is a frequently requested feature. If/when Backblaze implements copy, it will also be added to this tool.

@bwbeach that is not true: AWS CLI does have a move command. See aws s3 mv help for details.

I searched existing issues but did not find anything; if this is really a duplicate then I would appreciate a link to the original so that I can track the issue. Thanks again, -George

Is this the wrong repo to be filing this issue against?

bwbeach commented 5 years ago

@gwk - You're correct that the AWS CLI does have a "move" command. S3 does not support moving files, so the CLI does a copy-then-delete. Once B2 has the ability to copy, then adding a "move" command to the CLI would make sense.

This repo is for the CLI for B2. For new feature requests in b2, contact Backblaze.
