How to copy files and folders between two buckets

Question

I am looking for a tool to help me copy content of an S3 bucket into a second bucket without downloading the content first to a local system. I have tried AWS S3 console copy option but that resulted in some nested files being missing.

Answer 1

You can use AWS CLI to do that you can install AWS CLI from here http://aws.amazon.com/cli/ 

The command that you can use for copying the file is as follows:-

$ aws s3 sync s3://mybucket-src s3://mybucket-target --exclude *.tmp

This will copy from one target bucket to another bucket.

See the documentation here : S3 CLI Documentation
