s3tui is a terminal-based file transfer client for Amazon S3 and S3-compatible object storage.
Written in Rust with the ratatui framework, it presents local files and remote storage in a text user interface so you can manage transfers from inside the terminal rather than relying on a collection of separate commands. It’s aimed at people who want a fast keyboard-driven way to work with object storage, and it also supports multiple account configurations and custom environment-based setup.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports multiple S3 accounts and lets you switch between them at runtime.
- Handles uploads and downloads in both directions, including simultaneous transfers.
- Sorts local and remote file lists by name, size, or type.
- Offers case-insensitive file filtering with a keyboard shortcut.
- Lets you create buckets and delete items from within the interface.
- Supports S3-compatible storage providers such as MinIO, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, Cloudflare R2, and DigitalOcean Spaces.
- Allows a custom credentials file path to be specified with a command-line flag.
- Includes built-in help, refresh controls, and version reporting.
