How do I download from S3 bucket to AWS CLI?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 5:54 pm

If you want to download files from an S3 bucket to your AWS account, you can use the AWS CLI. First, you will need to get your AWS credentials. Then, you can use the following commands to download files from an S3 bucket:

AWS s3 cp \ –recursive \ s3://mybucket/file1.txt \ s3://mybucket/file2.txt

The AWS CLI will copy the file1.txt and file2.

txt files to your AWS account. You can also use the AWS s3 ls command to list the files in the mybucket S3 bucket.

PRO TIP: When downloading from an S3 bucket using the AWS CLI, it is important to use the –recursive flag to ensure that all files in the bucket are downloaded. Failure to do so may result in only a portion of the files in the bucket being downloaded.
