AWS S3 Commands

Create buckets

$ aws s3 mb s3://bucket-name


Remove buckets which are empty
$ aws s3 rb s3://bucket-name

Remove buckets which are non-empty
$ aws s3 rb s3://bucket-name --force

List all buckets
$ aws s3 ls

List all objects and folders (prefixes) in a bucket
$ aws s3 ls s3://bucket-name

Lists the objects in bucket-name/path (objects in bucket-name filtered by the prefix path).
$ aws s3 ls s3://bucket-name/path

Copy an object into a bucket. It grants read permissions on the object to everyone and full permissions (read, readacl, and writeacl) to the account associated with user@example.com.

$ aws s3 cp file.txt s3://my-bucket/ --grants read=uri=http://acs.amazonaws.com/groups/global/AllUsers full=emailaddress=user@example.com

sync command 
$ aws s3 sync <source> <target> [--options]
$ aws s3 sync . s3://my-bucket/path upload: MySubdirectory\MyFile3.txt to s3://my-bucket/path/MySubdirectory/MyFile3.txt upload: MyFile2.txt to s3://my-bucket/path/MyFile2.txt upload: MyFile1.txt to s3://my-bucket/path/MyFile1.txt

Normally, sync only copies missing or outdated files or objects between the source and target. However, you may supply the --delete option to remove files or objects from the target not present in the source.
// Sync with deletion - object is deleted from bucket $ aws s3 sync . s3://my-bucket/path --delete delete: s3://my-bucket/path/MyFile1.txt

The --exclude and --include options allow you to specify rules to filter the files or objects to be copied during the sync operation.

Local directory contains 3 files: MyFile1.txt MyFile2.rtf MyFile88.txt ''' $ aws s3 sync . s3://my-bucket/path --exclude '*.txt' upload: MyFile2.rtf to s3://my-bucket/path/MyFile2.rtf ''' $ aws s3 sync . s3://my-bucket/path --exclude '*.txt' --include 'MyFile*.txt' upload: MyFile1.txt to s3://my-bucket/path/MyFile1.txt upload: MyFile88.txt to s3://my-bucket/path/MyFile88.txt upload: MyFile2.rtf to s3://my-bucket/path/MyFile2.rtf ''' $ aws s3 sync . s3://my-bucket/path --exclude '*.txt' --include 'MyFile*.txt' --exclude 'MyFile?.txt' upload: MyFile2.rtf to s3://my-bucket/path/MyFile2.rtf upload: MyFile88.txt to s3://my-bucket/path/MyFile88.txt



the s3 command set includes cp, mv, ls, and rm, and they work in similar ways to their Unix counterparts. The following are some examples.

// Copy MyFile.txt in current directory to s3://my-bucket/path
$ aws s3 cp MyFile.txt s3://my-bucket/path/

// Move all .jpg files in s3://my-bucket/path to ./MyDirectory
$ aws s3 mv s3://my-bucket/path ./MyDirectory --exclude '*' --include '*.jpg' --recursive

// List the contents of my-bucket
$ aws s3 ls s3://my-bucket

// List the contents of path in my-bucket
$ aws s3 ls s3://my-bucket/path

// Delete s3://my-bucket/path/MyFile.txt
$ aws s3 rm s3://my-bucket/path/MyFile.txt

// Delete s3://my-bucket/path and all of its contents
$ aws s3 rm s3://my-bucket/path --recursive
When the --recursive option is used on a directory/folder with cp, mv, or rm, the command walks the directory tree, including all subdirectories.// List of files in human readable form with sizes in KB/MB/GB$ aws s3 ls s3://mybucket/path --recursive --human-readable --summarize--human-readable displays file size in Bytes/MiB/KiB/GiB/TiB/PiB/EiB. --summarize displays the total number of objects and total size at the end of the result listing:
