Access OpenStack Swift via FTP (HP Cloud)

Advertisement

Here is a Short Guide on How To Access OpenStack Swift via FTP. We Have Used HP Cloud as an Example Setup. This Method Can Be Used On Own Setup. We have other OpenStack Swift related guide like using a Python Script to upload the static objects to linked CDN. This Guide on How To Access OpenStack Swift via FTP is Intended For The Advanced Users. You must have basic understanding of OpenStack Swift and other related things. You can perform a search on our (this) website to get more guides on OpenStack, which might help you if you are relatively new to OpenStack. This method might not work on Rackspace installation of OpenStack.

 

Access OpenStack Swift via FTP (HP Cloud)

 

We are assuming that python-pip and Python Swift Agent are installed on the client side. Use the default Terminal (not iTerm2) for OS X to force sudo :

Vim
1
sudo pip install ftp-cloudfs python-keystoneclient

For our setup, the openstackrc file’s [read this guide for OpenStack RC] credentials are added in .zshrc. So, if we cd to $HOME and do a cat :

---

Vim
1
cd ~ && cat .zshrc

we will get the export OS_AUTH_URL. For HP Cloud, that is –

Vim
1
https://region-a.geo-1.identity.hpcloudsvc.com:35357/v2.0/

 

Access OpenStack Swift via FTP : Having Fun on HP Cloud

 

For HP Cloud, we will run this command :

Vim
1
ftpcloudfs --foreground --keystone-auth --auth-url https://region-a.geo-1.identity.hpcloudsvc.com:35357/v2.0/

You should be able to access :

Vim
1
http://127.0.0.1:2021

You can run cURL to troubleshoot :

Vim
1
curl -I http://127.0.0.1:2021

It might give you 500 error. Try to get the error by running this command :

Vim
1
curl -i 'https://region-a.geo-1.identity.hpcloudsvc.com:35357/v2.0/' -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json"  -d '{"auth": {"tenantName": "xxxxxxxxxx", "passwordCredentials": {"username": "yourusername", "password": "yourpassword"}}}'

If you are getting :

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed
Content-Type: application/json
ALLOW: GET
Content-Length: 45
Connection: keep-alive

Ask HP Cloud’s Support. I expect this :

Access OpenStack Swift via FTP (HP Cloud)

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Vary: X-Auth-Token
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 543
Connection: close

Cloud FS project is here :

Vim
1
https://github.com/cloudfs/ftp-cloudfs

Most errors are related to Memcached. By the way, you should kill the pid manually.
