Cyberduck
Mountain Duck
CLIWe have readied a command line interface (CLI) version of Cyberduck for power users. It is named duck and runs in your shell on Linux and OS X or your Windows command line prompt.
The CLI version includes the power features of Cyberduck ready to be used in scripts and automated deployments. Edit files on remote servers, download, upload and copy between servers with FTP, SFTP or WebDAV plus support for cloud storage Amazon S3 & OpenStack Swift deployments. Let’s looks at some examples what in particular duck is useful for.

Note the URI syntax protocol://container/key used for OpenStack Swift, Microsoft Azure and Amazon S3.
