· chmod 0755 obsutil_linux_amd64_5.4.11/obsutil

Running obsutil codes

First of all, we download our Obsutil application.

Then we make this application file openable.

Once this file is opened, we use the chmod command to make the application executable.

Running obsutil codes

We copy Obsutil under /usr/sbin/. Because of this, obsutil can be opened from any path.

• cp obsutil_linux_amd64_5.4.11/obsutil /usr/sbin/

Running obsutil codes

We need to set the config file for Obsutil. For this, credentials such as AK/SK are required.

• obsutil config -i=AK -k=SK -e=obs.tr-west-1.myhuaweicloud.com

Obsutil config code

3. Getting AK/SK

You can export your AK/SK information in excel format.

• obsutil ls

You can list all the files in Obsutil.

• ls -al

With this command, the “hidden” files and folders in the folder where we are in obsutil are listed as “Verbose”.

Run the ./obsutil mb obs://bucketname -location= tr-west-1 command to create a bucket named bucket-test in the Istanbul region

./obsutil mb obs://feyza-poc -location=tr-west-1

Create bucket [bucket-test] successfully!

We use this command if we want to upload our file loaded in Obsutil to OBS bucket. Thus, we can quickly send large amounts of data to the OBS bucket with the command prompt.

• obsutil cp FILE NAME obs://BUCKETNAME/

Copying file to obs bucket

Then, If you check the OBS bucket, you will see your filename. File can be uploaded successfully.

Obs bucket view

Run the ./obsutil rm obs://bucket-test/test.txt -f command to delete object test.txt from bucket bucket-test

./obsutil rm obs://bucket-test/test.txt -f

Delete object [test.txt] in the bucket [bucket-test] successfully!

Run the ./obsutil rm obs://bucket-test -f command to delete bucket bucket-test

./obsutil rm obs://bucket-test -f

Delete bucket [bucket-test] successfully!
