ActionDescription

list directory

List directories; for example,

  • List object stores like S3 buckets, Azure container.
  • List OS directories from Linux, Windows, HDFS.

copy

Copy objects from source to target.

copy-tocopyto

Copies an a single object from source to target and allows to rename the object on the target object.

move

Move objects from source to target.

move-tomoveto

Moves an a single object from source to target and allows to rename the object on the target object.

sync

Sync the source to the destination, changing the destination only.

list objects

List objects in an OS directory or cloud object store.

remove-object

Remove objects in an OS directory or cloud object store.

remove-object-store

Remove an OS directory or cloud object store.

create-object-store

Create an OS directory or cloud object store.

copy-url

Download a URL's content and copy it to the destination without saving it in temporary storage.

monitor-object

Monitor a file or object in an OS directory or cloud object store and, optionally, launch Task(s) when an object is identified by the monitor.

...

Important Considerations

  1. Before running a move or , moveto, copy command, copyto or sync command, you can always try the command by setting the Dry-run option in the Task.

  2. The field max-depth (recursion depth) limits the recursion depth. max-depth 1means that only the current directory is in scope. This is the default value.

    Note
    titleAttention

    If you change max-depth to a value greater than 1, a recursive action is performed. This should be considered in any Copy, Move, sync, remove-object and remove-object-store operations.

...

FieldDescription

Agent

Linux or Windows Universal Agent to execute the Rclone command line.

Agent Cluster

Optional Agent Cluster for load balancing.

Action

[ list directory, copy, list objects, move, remove-object, remove-object-store, create-object-store, copy-url, monitor-object ]

list directories; for example,

  • List object stores like S3 buckets, Azure container.
  • List OS directories from Linux, Windows, HDFS.

Storage TypeEnter a storage Type name as defined in the Connection File; for example,

Select the storage type:

  • [linux_source
  • amazon_s3
,
  • _source
  • microsoft_azure_blob_storage_source
  • microsoft_azure_blob_storage
, hdfs, onedrive, linux ..

For a list of all possible storage types, refer to Overview of Cloud Storage Systems.

Connection File

In the connection file, you configure
  • _sas_source
  • google_cloud_storage_Source
  • ondrive_source,hdfs_source
  • datalakegen2_storage_source
  • datalakegen2_storage_sp_source
  • windows_source
  • sftp_source,copy_url
  • [linux_target,amazon_s3_target,microsoft_azure_blob_storage_target,microsoft_azure_blob_storage_sas_target,google_cloud_storage_target,ondrive_target,hdfs_target,datalakegen2_storage_source, datalakegen2_storage_sp_source,windows_source,sftp_source,copy_url]
Source Credential

Credential used for the selected Storage Type.

Connection File

In the connection file, you configure all required Parameters and Credentials to connect to the Source and Target Cloud Storage System.

For example, if you want to transfer a file from AWS S3 to Azure Blob Storage, you must configure the connection Parameters for AWS S3 and Azure Blob Storage.

For details on how to configure the Connection File, refer to section Configure the Connection File.

UAC Rest Credentials

Universal Controller Rest API Credentials.

UAC Base URL

Universal Controller URL; for example, https://192.168.88.40/uc.

Loglevel

Universal Task logging settings [DEBUG | INFO| WARNING | ERROR | CRITICAL].

Other Parameters

This field can be used to apply additional flag parameters to the selected action.

For a list of all possible flags, refer to Global Flags.

Recommendation: Add the flag max-depth 1 to avoid a recursive action.

max-depth ( recursion depth )

limits the recursion depth

max-depth 1means only the root directories are displayed without subdirectories. This is the default value.

Example

The following example list all AWS S3 aws s3 buckets in the AWS account configured in the cloud2cloudconnection.conf file.

No sub-directories are displayed, because max-depth is set to 1.
