aws-s3-ls:tldr:abd74

aws-s3-ls: List files and folders directly inside a directory.
$ aws s3 ls ${bucket_name}/${path-to-directory}/
try on your machine

This command is using the AWS CLI (Command Line Interface) to fetch a list of objects (files and directories) stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • aws s3 is the AWS CLI command to interact with the S3 service.
  • ls is the command used to list the objects in an S3 bucket.
  • ${bucket_name} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the name of the specific bucket you wish to list objects from.
  • ${path-to-directory} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the directory path within the bucket. It can be left empty if you want to list objects in the root directory of the bucket.

When you run this command, it will query the specified bucket and display a list of objects (files and directories) present in the specified directory (or the root directory if no path is provided).

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.
