OpenStack : Swift : Create container and upload test file

Here I create a container called cont01

$ swift post cont01

Dashboard will show the container information

Now I try upload a test file

$ swift upload cont01 test.txt

Now it shows

• Object Count: 1
• Size: 6 bytes

$ mv test.txt test.txt.bak
$ swift download cont01 test.txt
test.txt [auth 0.164s, headers 0.205s, total 0.205s, 0.000 MB/s]

$ ls -al test*
-rw-rw-r--. 1 openstack openstack 6 Jun 26 11:33 test.txt
-rw-rw-r--. 1 openstack openstack 6 Jun 26 11:33 test.txt.bak

I noticed that the file permission and timestamps are preserved.
