|    |-- sample.txt 

Example 1:

$ python-simple-swiftclient [...] --operation-type upload --container [container name] --upload-path dir1/dir2/image1.jpg 

This command will create an object over OpenStack swift named as **dir1/dir2/image1.jpg**

Example 2:

$ python-simple-swiftclient [...] --operation-type upload --container [container name] --upload-path dir1/ 

This command will create 2 objects over OpenStack swift named as **dir1/dir2/image1.jpg** and **dir1/dir3/sample.txt**

Example 3:

$ python-simple-swiftclient [...] --operation-type download --container [container name] --object dir1/dir2/image1.jpg --download-path /home/admin/download

This command will download image1.jpg from OpenStack swift to /home/admin/download
