Once objects have been uploaded to a container, one may also want to download them. In this recipe, we will show you how to download objects to your local disk.
Ensure that you are logged on to a correctly configured OpenStack client and can access the OpenStack environment as a user with the swiftoperator
privileges. We will use the developer
user created in the Common OpenStack identity tasks recipe in Chapter 2, The OpenStack Client with the cookbook4
password. We have also granted this user the swiftoperator
privileges.
Refer to Chapter 2, The OpenStack Client, for details of setting up your environment to use the OpenStack command-line client.
To download objects from a Swift cluster, carry out the following steps:
openstack object list books
This will give a list of objects in our books
container:
intro.txt
, issue the following command:openstack object save books intro.txt
openstack object save books nova.txt --file /tmp/nov a.txt
