S3cmd is a command line tool for uploading, retrieving and managing data
in Amazon S3. It is best suited for power users who don't fear command
line. It is also ideal for scripts, automated backups triggered from
cron, etc.

Optional: python2-magic

Before s3cmd can be used it must first be set up.  Run 's3cmd
--configure' and enter in you access key and your secret key and follow
the instructions. This will create ~/.s3cfg file with your s3
credentials.
