MinIO Client, usually invoked as mc, is a command-line utility for working with object storage from a Unix-style shell.
It’s designed for MinIO deployments but also works with Amazon S3 and other S3-compatible services, giving you a consistent way to move data, inspect objects, compare buckets, and automate storage administration alongside local filesystem operations.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Stores connection details with aliases, making it easy to manage credentials and endpoints for MinIO and other S3-compatible services.
- Handles day-to-day object and bucket tasks such as listing, copying, moving, mirroring, finding, diffing, tagging, and retrieving metadata.
- Provides administration commands for bucket lifecycle rules, quotas, replication, encryption, versioning, retention, legal holds, and anonymous access.
- Includes advanced capabilities such as generating temporary share URLs, running SQL queries on object data, watching object events, and undoing PUT or DELETE operations.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
