Before doing all this you have to create a bucket in your AWS console. Or just use AWS cli tool in order to create one.

• Install pip (if not installed already):

$ curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

$ sudo pip install awscli

If you’re trying to delete a very large number of files at one time (I deleted a directory with 485,000+ today), you will probably run into this error:

/bin/rm: Argument list too long.

The problem is that when you type something like “rm -rf ”, the “” is replaced with a list of every matching file, like “rm -rf file1 file2 file3 file4” and so on. There is a reletively small buffer of memory allocated to storing this list of arguments and if it is filled up, the shell will not execute the program. To get around this problem, a lot of people will use the find command to find every file and pass them one-by-one to the “rm” command like this:

find . -type f -exec rm -v {} \;

My problem is that I needed to delete 500,000 files and it was taking way too long.

Setting up a SSL Cert from Comodo

I use Namecheap.com as a registrar, and they resale SSL Certs from a number of other companies, including Comodo.

These are the steps I went through to set up an SSL cert.
