[S3tools-general] secure file transfer

[Ashish Yadav]

I encrypt my files before I transfer to S3. However, I would like to make sure the transfer is secure too. We currently to scp or ssh. Now that we want to use s3cmd, how can we ensure that the transfer of the files is secure as well? We are using s3cmd version 1.0.0 on Debian Linux squeeze version.

Hi Ashish,

Use https for encryption during transfer.

Check - http://s3tools.org/s3cmd-howto

Prakash,

The 'howto' page doesn’t show how to configure s3cmd to use https.

For us, in our .s3cfg file (as setup by the s3cmd --configure) we use
this option:

use_https = True

You are strongly encouraged to upgrade to 1.5.2. 1.0.0 is ancient (years
old) and many many bugs have been fixed in the meantime.

Matt,

We are using s3cmd on Debian Linux squeeze version. Is s3cmd version 1.5.2 supported on Debian squeeze?

It is supported on python 2.6 and 2.7 so it should work on squeeze.

Great. And how can I confirm that the transfer is secure? I did enable https to be ‘True’ in the config file. Is there a way to confirm that it is transferring data over https?

Use tcpdump to capture the packet and analyze the packets to check whether
they are secure. :)
