title: Efficiently move many small files to Amazon S3
body: <p>I have around 60,000 small image files (total size 200mb) that I would like to move out of my project repository to Amazon S3.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried s3fs (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/" rel="noreferrer">http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/</a>), mounting S3 via Transmit on Mac OS X as well as the Amazon AWS S3 web uploader. Unfortunately it seems like all of these would take a very long time, more than a day or two, to accomplish the task.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any better way?</p>
