s3cmd: Upload a file to a bucket.
$ s3cmd put ${local_file} s3://${bucket}/${file}
try on your machine

The command "s3cmd put ${local_file} s3://${bucket}/${file}" is used to upload a local file to an Amazon S3 bucket.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "s3cmd": This is a command-line tool used to manage Amazon S3 buckets and objects.
  • "put": This is a specific command within s3cmd that is used to upload a file to an S3 bucket.
  • "${local_file}": This is a placeholder for the local file path and name that you want to upload. You should replace it with the actual file path and name on your local system.
  • "s3://${bucket}/${file}": This is the destination path in the S3 bucket where you want to upload the file. You need to replace "${bucket}" with the name or ID of the S3 bucket you want to upload to, and "${file}" with the desired filename for the uploaded file in the bucket.

By running this command with the appropriate values for "${local_file}", "${bucket}", and "${file}", you will be able to upload the specified file from your local system to the specified S3 bucket.
