S3
Creating A Bucket
1
| $ aws s3 mb s3://<bucket_name> --region <region>
|
Listing Files
To list buckets:
Copying Files
1
| $ aws s3 cp <source> <destination>
|
1
2
3
4
5
| # Copy local file to S3
$ aws s3 cp my_file.txt s3://my_bucket/my_prefix
# Copy file from S3 to local
$ aws s3 cp s3://my_bucket/my_prefix my_file.txt
|
Syncing Files
Syncing can copy a group of files which all share a similar prefix (or part of a prefix), so you can treat the prefixes almost like directories in this case.
1
| $ aws s3 sync <source> <destination>
|
1
2
| # Sync all objects with the prefix "my_prefix/" to the current directory
$ aws s3 sync s3://my_bucket/my_prefix/ ./
|
Speeding Up Copy And Sync Commands
You can speed up copy and sync transfers (especially when small files are involved) by running the following commands:
1
2
| $ aws configure set default.s3.max_concurrent_requests 100
$ aws configure set default.s3.max_queue_size 10000
|
This modifies the default profile. It will add the below to the .aws/config file:
1

4
| [default]
s3 =
max_concurrent_requests = 100
max_queue_size = 10000
