aws-s3-cp: Copy a file from local to a specific bucket.
$ aws s3 cp ${filename} s3://${bucket_name}/${path-to-remote_file}
try on your machine

This command is using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) to perform a file copy operation between a local machine and an Amazon S3 bucket.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • aws s3 cp: This is the basic syntax of the AWS CLI command for copying files to and from an S3 bucket.
  • ${filename}: This is a placeholder for the name of the file you want to copy. You need to replace it with the actual name of the local file you want to copy.
  • s3://${bucket_name}/${path-to-remote_file}: This is the destination location where the file will be copied to in the S3 bucket. You need to replace ${bucket_name} with the actual name of the S3 bucket, and ${path-to-remote_file} with the path you want to specify within the bucket.

When you run this command, the file specified by ${filename} will be copied from your local machine to the S3 bucket specified by ${bucket_name} at the location ${path-to-remote_file}.
