aws-s3-ls: List files and folders in the root of a bucket (`s3://` is optional).
$ aws s3 ls s3://${bucket_name}
try on your machine
The command "aws s3 ls s3://${bucket_name}" is used to list the content (files and folders) within a specific Amazon S3 bucket.
Let's break down the command:
- "aws s3": This is the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) command for interacting with Amazon S3 service.
- "ls": This is a subcommand used to list the contents of a specified bucket.
- "s3://${bucket_name}": This is the S3 bucket URL where you replace the "${bucket_name}" with the name of the bucket you want to list.
By running this command, you will get a list of all the files and directories present within the specified S3 bucket.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
