Rclone is another powerful tool that can be used with Pilvio S3 object storage.
This guide was tested on Centos 7 and Rclone version v1.55.1-DEV.
Other installation options can be found here: https://rclone.org/install/
Installation
yum install rclone
Configuration
rclone config file
Output:
2022/02/21 13:17:00 NOTICE: Config file "/root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf" not found - using defaults
The configuration file doesn't exist, but rclone will use this path:
/root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
Let’s add Pilvio S3 configuration to rclone.conf file.
Use your favorite text editor and add following data to rclone.conf file:
Do not forget to set access_key_id and secret_access_key with your values.
vim /root/.config/rclone/rclone.conf[pilvio]
type = s3
provider = Other
env_auth = false
access_key_id = NqTqcpjnNpCTW3bpMrcdN
secret_access_key = XJx4sxLM9v3TsmKVdTwMJLhPFFxtrMhpJRNRqsgV
endpoint = https://s3.pilw.io
acl = private
Now we can test connection to Pilvio S3
Let’s list your buckets.
rclone lsd pilvio:
Output:
rclone lsd pilvio:

You can create a bucket using this command:
rclone mkdir pilvio:rclone-test
To upload a file to your bucket, use the following command:
rclone copy hello.txt pilvio:rclone-test
Now we can list content of rclone-test bucket to confirm that file was uploaded successfully.
rclone ls pilvio:rclone-test
Output:
12 hello.txt
Rclone has some interesting functionality. For example, you can get md5sum of objects in your bucket.
rclone md5sum pilvio:rclone-test
f0ef7081e1539ac00ef5b761b4fb01b3 hello.txt
