Using the Snowball Client
Usage
snowball ls [OPTION...] s3://DEST
Example

Make Directory Command for the Snowball Client
The snowball mkdir command creates a new subfolder on the Snowball. You can't create a new folder
at the root level. The root level is reserved for bucket folders.
Usage
snowball mkdir [OPTION...] s3://DEST
Example
snowball mkdir s3://MyBucket/Logs/April/ExpenseReports
Retry Command for the Snowball Client
The snowball retry command retries the snowball cp command for all the files that didn't copy
the last time snowball cp was executed. The list of files that weren't copied is saved in a plaintext log
in your workstation's temporary directory. The exact path to that log is printed to the terminal if the
snowball cp command fails to copy a file.
Example Usage
snowball retry
Remove Command for the Snowball Client
The snowball rm command deletes files and folders on the Snowball. This operation can take some
time to complete if it removes a large number of files or directories, such as with snowball rm -r,
which deletes everything on the device. If you run the snowball ls command afterwards, it shows you
the state of the device when the deletion is completed.
However, the amount of storage reported by the snowball status command may show you the
amount of storage remaining before the snowball rm command was issued. If this happens, try the
snowball status command in an hour or so to see the new remaining storage value.
Usage
snowball rm [OPTION...] s3://DEST
Examples
snowball rm --recursive s3://MyBucket/Logs/April
snowball rm -r s3://MyBucket/Logs/April
