Examples

Structure of a directory

Create two local files, one with the content "hello" and the other with the content "goodbye".

$ echo hello > hello.txt
$ echo goodbye > goodbye.txt

Upload the files to different paths inside the test directory using the cp command.

$ bx cp hello.txt bx://test/greeting/hello.txt
hello.txt [=================================================>] 100 %

$ bx cp goodbye.txt bx://test/farewell/goodbye.txt
goodbye.txt [=================================================>] 100 %

info

The cp command will implicitly create directories in BatchX that haven't been previously created.

Use the bx tree command to display the content of the test directory.

$ bx tree bx://test
test
├── farewell
│   └── goodbye.txt
└── greeting
    └── hello.txt

Adding the -s and the -h flags will also display the file size in a human readable way.

$ bx tree -sh bx://test
test
├── farewell
│   └── [8 B] goodbye.txt
└── greeting
    └── [6 B] hello.txt
