Upload a file to an Amazon S3 bucket with this bash script (requires OpenSSL and Curl)

copy-to-s3.sh

#!/bin/bash

#
# Usage: copy-to-s3.sh /full/path/to/the/file.txt /path/in/amazon/fle.txt
#
# Caveat: the path to the file in AWS needs to be URL Encoded (in case there are spaces, etc)
#
# Minimum tweak from this Gist: https://gist.github.com/chrismdp/6c6b6c825b07f680e710
#
# You don't need Fog in Ruby or some other library to upload to S3 -- shell works perfectly fine
# This is how I upload my new Sol Trader builds (http://soltrader.net)
# Based on a modified script from here: http://tmont.com/blargh/2014/1/uploading-to-s3-in-bash
