Swift refers to [http://www.openstack.org/software/openstack-storage/ Openstack Object Storage]. Commercial implementations of that being:

*[http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/files/ Rackspace Cloud Files]
*[http://www.memset.com/cloud/storage/ Memset Memstore]

Paths are specified as '''remote:container''' (or '''remote:''' for the '''lsd''' command.) You may put subdirectories in too, eg '''remote:container/path/to/dir'''.

Here is an example of making a swift configuration. First run:

<pre>
rclone config
</pre>

This will guide you through an interactive setup process.

==Usage==

This remote is called '''remote''' and can now be used like this:

See all containers:

<pre>
rclone lsd remote:
</pre>

Make a new container:

<pre>
rclone mkdir remote:container
</pre>

List the contents of a container:

<pre>
rclone ls remote:container
</pre>

Sync '''/home/local/directory''' to the remote container, deleting any excess files in the container.

<pre>
rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:container
</pre>

==Specific Options==

Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage system:

<pre>
–swift-chunk-size=SIZE
</pre>

Above this size files will be chunked into a _segments container. The default for this is 5GB which is its maximum value.

==Modified Time==

The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as '''X-Object-Meta-Mtime''' as floating point since the epoch accurate to 1 ns.

This is a defacto standard (used in the official python-swiftclient amongst others) for storing the modification time for an object.

==Limitations==

The Swift API doesn’t return a correct MD5SUM for segmented files (Dynamic or Static Large Objects) so rclone won’t check or use the MD5SUM for these.
