: This is the command to copy files and/or directories.s3://${bucket_name}
: This is the source path of the files and/or directories you want to copy.${bucket_name}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the name of your specific S3 bucket..
: This specifies the target path where the files and/or directories should be copied. In this case, the.
indicates the current local directory.--recursive
