Swift refers to [Openstack Object Storage](http://www.openstack.org/software/openstack-storage/).
Commercial implementations of that being:
* [Rackspace Cloud Files](http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/files/)
* [Memset Memstore](http://www.memset.com/cloud/storage/)
Paths are specified as `remote:container` or `remote:`
Here is an example of making a swift configuration. First run
rclone config
This will guide you through an interactive setup process.
```
No remotes found - make a new one
n) New remote
q) Quit config
n/q> n
name> remote
What type of source is it?
Choose a number from below
1) swift
2) s3
3) local
4) drive
type> 1
User name to log in.
user> user_name
API key or password.
key> password_or_api_key
Authentication URL for server.
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
* Rackspace US
1) https://auth.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0
* Rackspace UK
2) https://lon.auth.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0
* Rackspace v2
3) https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0
* Memset Memstore UK
4) https://auth.storage.memset.com/v1.0
* Memset Memstore UK v2
5) https://auth.storage.memset.com/v2.0
auth> 1
Remote config
--------------------
[remote]
user = user_name
key = password_or_api_key
auth = https://auth.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0
--------------------
y) Yes this is OK
e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d> y
```
This remote is called `remote` and can now be used like this
See all containers
rclone lsd remote:
Make a new container
rclone mkdir remote:container
List the contents of a container
rclone ls remote:container
Sync `/home/local/directory` to the remote container, deleting any
excess files in the container.
rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:container
Modified time
-------------
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
`X-Object-Meta-Mtime` as floating point since the epoch accurate to 1
ns.
This is a defacto standard (used in the official python-swiftclient
amongst others) for storing the modification time for an object.
