s3cmd: Move an object to a specific bucket location.
$ s3cmd mv s3://${src_bucket}/${src_object} s3://${dst_bucket}/${dst_object}
try on your machine

This command is using the "s3cmd" tool to move an object from one location to another within Amazon S3.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "s3cmd" is the command-line tool for managing Amazon S3.
  • "mv" is the command that stands for "move". It is used to rename or move objects within S3.
  • "s3://${src_bucket}/${src_object}" represents the source location of the object you want to move. "${src_bucket}" is the source bucket name, and "${src_object}" is the source object key.
  • "s3://${dst_bucket}/${dst_object}" represents the destination location where you want to move the object. "${dst_bucket}" is the destination bucket name, and "${dst_object}" is the destination object key.

By running this command, you are instructing the "s3cmd" tool to move the object located at "s3://${src_bucket}/${src_object}" to the destination specified by "s3://${dst_bucket}/${dst_object}". This effectively renames or moves the object within Amazon S3.
