aws-s3: Show files in a bucket.
$ aws s3 ls ${bucket_name}
try on your machine

The command aws s3 ls ${bucket_name} is used to list the contents of a specific Amazon S3 bucket.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • aws s3 is the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) command used to interact with Amazon S3 service.
  • ls is the sub-command used to list information about objects in S3 buckets.
  • ${bucket_name} is a placeholder for the actual name of the bucket you want to list the contents of. You need to replace ${bucket_name} with the name of the specific S3 bucket you want to list.

When you run this command, it will send a request to Amazon S3 to retrieve and display a list of objects (files) stored in the specified bucket. The output will include details such as the object name, size, and the date and time it was last modified.

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.
