aws-s3: Sync files and directories with exclusions.
$ aws s3 sync ${filenames} s3://${bucket_name} --exclude ${filename} --exclude ${path-to-directory}/*
try on your machine
The given command is used to synchronize local files or directories with an Amazon S3 bucket using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). Let's break down the command:
aws s3 sync
: This is the base command for synchronizing files or directories with an S3 bucket.${filenames}
: This variable should be replaced with the name(s) of the local file(s) or directory you want to sync with S3. For example, if you want to sync a single file named "myfile.txt", you would replace${filenames}
with"myfile.txt"
. You can also provide multiple files or directories by separating them with spaces, like"file1.txt file2.txt"
or"dir1/ dir2/"
.s3://${bucket_name}
: This specifies the destination S3 bucket where the files will be synced. You need to replace${bucket_name}
with the actual name of your S3 bucket.--exclude ${filename}
: This option is used to exclude specific files from synchronization. Replace${filename}
with the name of the file you want to exclude from syncing. For example,--exclude "file3.txt"
would exclude "file3.txt" from the sync operation.--exclude ${path-to-directory}/*
: This option is used to exclude all files within a specific directory from synchronization. Replace${path-to-directory}
with the path to the directory you want to exclude. For example,--exclude "dir3/*"
would exclude all files within the "dir3" directory from syncing.
In summary, the command synchronizes the specified local files or directories with the specified S3 bucket while excluding any specified filenames or files within specified directories from the synchronization process.
