S3 CopyObjectRequest between regions - amazon-web-services

Question

I'm trying to copy some objects between 2 S3 buckets that are in different regions.
I have this:
static void PutToDestination(string filename)
{
var credentials = new Amazon.Runtime.BasicAWSCredentials(awsAccessKeyId, awsSecretKey);
var client = new Amazon.S3.AmazonS3Client(credentials, Amazon.RegionEndpoint.GetBySystemName(awsS3RegionNameSource));
CopyObjectRequest request = new CopyObjectRequest();
request.SourceKey = filename;
request.DestinationKey = filename;
request.SourceBucket = awsS3BucketNameSource;
request.DestinationBucket = awsS3BucketNameDest;
try
{
CopyObjectResponse response = client.CopyObject(request);
}
catch (AmazonS3Exception x)
{
Console.WriteLine(x);
}
}
I get "The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint. Please send all future requests to this endpoint."
There doesn't seem to be a way to set separate endpoints for source and destination.
Is there a different method I should look at?
Thanks

Answer 1

Did you try this? https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java-v2/issues/2212 (Provide destination region when building the S3:Client). Worked for me :)

I think, if you don't specify the region explicitly, then Copy between cross region should work.
See documentation.
However, the accelaration will not work and copy will be
COPY=GET+PUT
Here is explanation excerpt from documentation that says-
Important
Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration does not support cross-region copies.
In your code, you are specifying the region like below.
AmazonS3 s3Client = AmazonS3ClientBuilder.standard()
.withCredentials(new ProfileCredentialsProvider())
.withRegion(clientRegion)
.build();
Instead initialize S3client without region like below.
AmazonS3 s3Client = AmazonS3ClientBuilder.standard()
.withCredentials(new ProfileCredentialsProvider()).build();
