Single File Upload

[jessejamesrich]

I can't find any examples of how to upload a single file which I'd like to do at runtime rather than run on a cronjob (I assume I have to run this as a cronjob?)

When running:

turbolift -u <USERNAME> -a <KEY> --os-rax-auth <DC> upload -c <CONTAINER> -s test.txt

This is what I get:

2016-01-05 12:54:40,054 - logger:INFO => Logger [ turbolift ] loaded
2016-01-05 12:54:40,055 - worker:INFO => Authenticating

Done.

2016-01-05 12:54:40,387 - exceptions:ERROR => No objects found to process. Check your command.
Done.

Hi @jessejamesrichard assuming your running turbolift from master you'll use the -o or --object flag. This will upload the single object. For more on uploads you can do the following for all of the supported options turbolift upload --help. Your example cron job could work as so:

turbolift -u <USERNAME> -a <KEY> --os-rax-auth <DC> upload -c <CONTAINER> --object test.txt
