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.

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.
