Ftp-cloudfs is a ftp server acting as a proxy to Rackspace Cloud Files or to OpenStack Swift. It allow you to connect via any FTP client to do upload/download or create containers. By default the server will bind to port 2021 which allow to be run as a non root/administrator user. Ubiquitous API Access: SME adds an SFTP, FTP, and WebDav interface to RackSpace Files File Versioning: Versioning and file locking is built into the Storage Made Easy platform. If the same filename is uploaded to the same folder, the new file will be versioned and visible using our unique visual versioning UI feature. Upload Files To Rackspace Cloud Files Storage Using FTP Client nixcraftcom. Unsubscribe from nixcraftcom? Cancel Unsubscribe. Subscribe Subscribed Unsubscribe 7.18K. Click on the drop-down menu at the top, and you'll be able to pick connection protocols like WebDAV and FTP, plus connect directly to cloud services like Amazon S3, Backblaze B2 and Rackspace.

SSH keys enable a user to manage and assign RSA keys for the root user toa server at build time from the API or the Cloud Control Panel.

Key names are associated with a public and private key pair in the APIand the control panel. You can create a key pair or upload an existing publickey and associate it with a key name. If you create a new key pair,the private key is saved as a .pem suffixed file.

SSH keys are stored per region. For example, a key stored in the DFW regionis not usable in the IAD region unless it is also added there. You can list, view,and delete SSH keys using the API or the control panel.

Note

SSH keys only work in conjunction with a serverrunning Linux andare not compatible with Windows.Although the API will allow a Windowsserver to be built with a key, the key will not be functional.

Introduction

The Rackspace Cloud platform includes everything you need to build websites and applications that scale servers, storage, networking, APIs, and more. The Rackspace Cloud is based on OpenStack, which is a global collaboration of developers and cloud computing technologists producing the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds.

This guide assumes you're familiar with Java and its technologies. To get started you'll need access to the Rackspace cloud and jclouds.

Get a Username and API Key

1. If you don't have a Username and API Key already, sign up for developer+ to try the Rackspace Cloud.
   • developer+ gives you a 12-month infrastructure credit that can be used with all of the Rackspace services.
2. Login to the Cloud Control Panel (US) or the Cloud Control Panel (UK).
3. In the top right corner click on your username and then click Account Settings to locate your API Key.

Get jclouds

1. Ensure you are using the Java Development Kit (JDK) version 6 or later.
   • javac -version
2. Ensure you are using Maven version 3 or later.
   • mvn -version
3. Create a directory to try out jclouds.
   • mkdir jclouds
   • cd jclouds
4. Make a local copy of this pom.xml file in the jclouds directory.
   • mvn dependency:copy-dependencies '-DoutputDirectory=./lib'
5. You should now have a directory with the following structure:
   • jclouds/
     • pom.xml
     • lib/
       • *.jar

jclouds in a Managed Container

Setting up jclouds to work in a managed container is easy. You simply need to ensure that jclouds won't spawn any of its own threads. You can do this by using the ExecutorServiceModule when building your Context.

An example code snippet:

Next Steps

1. Try the rest of the Rackspace examples and the Logging example.
2. When you're ready to publish some web pages on the internet, try the CloudFilesPublish.java, CloudServersPublish.java, or CreateLoadBalancerWithNewServers.java examples.
3. Change the examples to do different things that you want to do.
4. After running some examples, compare the output with what you see in the Cloud Control Panel.
5. Join the jclouds community as either a developer or user.
