In this article, I will show you how to share a Cloud Image from one Rackspace account to another. The account doing the sharing will be called the “Producer” and the account receiving the share will be called the “Consumer”. Note that the image being shared by the Producer can only be used by the Consumer to build Cloud Servers in the same region/data centre as the Producer’s image was created in (e.g., DFW, ORD, SYD, etc.)…[read more]

In this post, I will show you how to quickly upload files to Rackspace Cloud Files using only the Linux CLI (i.e., no SDKs, Rackspace-specific tools, or anything that is not already installed on a standard Linux distro).
This post will assume you already have some basic understanding of how application programming interfaces (APIs) work, you have a Rackspace Cloud account (w/Cloud Files), and understand the basics of the Linux CLI (e.g., you know how to use cURL). See my Rackspace API article on my wiki for more in-depth explanations and examples.
Note: The following commands use Python. It should work with any version of Python, however, it was tested with Python 2.7.4.
First get your 24-hour-valid token:
Then, use a for-loop to upload your files (e.g., all of the PNG files in you present working direcory) to a given container (e.g., “sandbox”):
Note: Obviously, you will need to replace MossoCloudFS_ffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffff with your actual unique container URL.
