aws-s3-cp:tldr:28b76

aws-s3-cp: Copy a specific S3 object into another bucket keeping the original name.
$ aws s3 cp s3://${bucket_name1}/${filename} s3://${bucket_name2}
try on your machine

This command uses the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) to copy a file from one S3 bucket to another.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • aws s3 - This specifies the AWS S3 service for the command.
  • cp - This is the "copy" command of the AWS CLI, used to perform the copy operation between S3 buckets.
  • s3://${bucket_name1}/${filename} - This is the source file location. It uses the S3 URI format, where ${bucket_name1} represents the name of the source bucket and ${filename} represents the name of the file to be copied.
  • s3://${bucket_name2} - This is the destination bucket. It uses the same S3 URI format, where ${bucket_name2} represents the name of the target bucket.

When you execute this command, it will copy the file (specified by filename) from the source bucket (bucket_name1) to the destination bucket (bucket_name2) in AWS S3.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
