How do I rename a file with Fog?

Question

I have a rails 3.2 app. Using fog to store files in S3.

I would like to write a script to rename all of the files that have been uploaded. I can't seem to find any fog documentation in this area.

Is this possible with fog? Do I need another gem?

Answer 1

The bad news is you need to do a get/create/destroy

foo = bucket.files.get 'foo'
bar = bucket.files.create :key => 'bar', :body => foo.body
foo.destroy

The good news is if you're doing it from ec2 in the same region it will probably happen as fast as renaming a file on your local computer
