rclone can transfer directories and download many objects from Hivenet Object Storage.

​
What you’ll need

  • rclone installed.
  • Your Hivenet access key ID and secret access key.
  • A bucket created in the console.
For self-service storage, uploads require a positive organization credit balance. At a zero or negative balance, your organization’s configuration determines whether storage becomes Read only or Disabled. Object listing and downloads remain available in Read only mode and are blocked in Disabled mode. See When credits run out. Replace YOUR_BUCKET in the commands below. Use a local directory that does not contain files you need to preserve unchanged.

​
Configure a remote

Run rclone config to create a remote named hivenet. Choose the S3 storage type and the Other provider. This example reads credentials from your process environment. Set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY to your Hivenet credential pair, then configure the remote as follows:
Leave the remote’s access_key_id and secret_access_key fields empty when using environment authentication. Do not add an ACL or a bucket-policy setting. The AWS_ environment variable names are the names rclone expects. Their values must be your Hivenet credentials. Use a separate shell or process if you also work with AWS. The signing region is Europe; the console’s display label is EU. Path-style addressing must remain explicitly enabled. See the rclone S3 configuration reference for where to store the remote configuration and how environment authentication works.

​
Test the connection

List buckets:
List object keys in your bucket:

​
Upload a directory

Preview a copy:
After checking the destination, run:
The directory’s contents are copied under the uploads/ prefix. Objects at matching keys can be replaced.

​
Download a bucket or prefix

Preview the transfer:
Then download:
For one prefix, use:
These examples use copy, which does not remove destination files that are absent from the source. It can still replace destination files. See the rclone copy reference.

​
Retry an interrupted transfer

Run the same copy command again. rclone compares the source and destination to decide what still needs transferring. Check the output for failures and verify the resulting files before treating the transfer as complete.

​
If the remote fails

Check the endpoint, exact region value, and force_path_style setting. Confirm that the environment contains a complete, active Hivenet credential pair. Avoid adding optional S3 features based only on another provider’s example. See S3 compatibility and Troubleshooting.
