AWS S3 Bucket Upload/Transfer with boto3 - amazon-web-services

Question

I need to upload files to S3 and I was wondering which boto3 api call I should use?
I have found two methods in the boto3 documentation:
http://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/services/s3.html#S3.Client.upload_file
http://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/customizations/s3.html
Do I use the client.upload_file() ...
#!/usr/bin/python
import boto3
session = Session(aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key, region)
s3 = session.resource('s3')
s3.Bucket('my_bucket').upload_file('/tmp/hello.txt', 'hello.txt')
or do I use S3Transfer.upload_file() ...
#!/usr/bin/python
import boto3
session = Session(aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key, region)
S3Transfer(session).upload_file('/tmp/hello.txt', 'my_bucket', 'hello.txt')
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

with open('drop_spot/my_file.txt') as file:
client.put_object(Bucket='s3uploadertestdeleteme', Key='my_file.txt', Body=file)
response = client.get_object(Bucket='s3uploadertestdeleteme', Key='my_file.txt')
print("Done, response body: {}".format(response['Body'].read()))

Answer 1

It's better to use the method on the client. They're the same, but using the client method means you don't have to setup things yourself.

Answer 2

You can use Client: low-level service access : I saw a sample code in https://www.techblog1.com/2020/10/python-3-how-to-communication-with-aws.html
