A new and improved gsutil - now with "rsync"
Tuesday, May 27, 2014
Today we released gsutil version 4. This release has two new commands that our customers have been asking for:
gsutil rsync
: The
rsync
command automates the synchronization of a local file system directory with the contents of a Google Cloud Storage bucket, or across cloud storage buckets or providers.
gsutil signurl
: The
signurl
command makes it easy to generate a
signed url
that can be used to provide secure access to private data for users not signed in with a Google account.
Also, if you’ve been thinking about taking the
newly released Cloud Storage JSON API
for a spin, you’ll be happy to hear that
gsutil
version 4 now uses the JSON API by default, so trying it out is as simple as upgrading to the latest version of
gsutil
.
Note: With the move to the Cloud Storage JSON API, some input/output formats have changed from XML to JSON, making gsutil more consistent with other Google Cloud SDK tools. If you use gsutil in scripts, please see the detailed
release notes
.

gsutil
