I am trying to copy a file from S3 to an Ec2 instance, here is the strange behavior
Following command runs perfectly fine and show me the contents of s3, that I want to access
$aws s3 ls
2016-05-05 07:40:57 folder1
2016-05-07 15:04:42 my-folder
then I issue following command (also successful)
$ aws s3 ls s3://my-folder
2016-05-07 16:44:50 6007 myfile.txt
but when I try to copy this file, I recive an error as follows
$aws s3 cp s3://my-folder/myfile.txt ./
A region must be specified --region or specifying the region in a
configuration file or as an environment variable. Alternately, an
endpoint can be specified with --endpoint-url
I simply want to copy txt file from s3 to ec2 instance.
At least modify the above command to copy the contents. I am not sure about region as If I visit S3 from web it says
"S3 does not require region selection"
What is happening on the earth?
Most likely something is not working right, you should not be able to list the bucket if your regions is not setup as default in the aws configure.
Therefore from my experience with S3 if this works:
aws s3 ls s3://my-folder
then this should work as well:
aws s3 cp s3://my-folder/myfile.txt ./
However if it's asking you for region, then you need to provide it.
Try this to get the bucket region:
aws s3api get-bucket-location --bucket BUCKET
And then this to copy the file:
aws s3 cp --region <your_buckets_region> s3://my-folder/myfile.txt ./
If I visit S3 from web it says
"S3 does not require region selection"
S3 and bucket regions can be very confusing especially with that message. As it is the most misleading information ever IMO when it comes to s3 regions. Every bucket has got specific region (default is us-east-1) unless you have enabled cross-region replication.
You can choose a region to optimize latency, minimize costs, or
address regulatory requirements. Objects stored in a region never
leave that region unless you explicitly transfer them to another
region. For more information about regions, see Accessing a Bucket: in
the Amazon Simple Storage Service Developer Guide.
How about
aws s3 cp s3://my-folder/myfile.txt .
# or
aws s3 cp s3://my-folder/myfile.txt myfile.txt
I suspect the problem is something to do with the local path parser.
aws cli s3 fileformat parser
It is kinda strange because aws cli read the credential and region config.
The fix is specifying the region, below explains how to get the bucket region if you cant get it from the cli.
aws s3 cp s3://xxxxyyyyy/2008-Nissan-Sentra.pdf myfile.pdf --region us-west-2

I'm familiar with running the AWS CLI command to copy from a folder to S3 or from one S3 bucket to another S3 bucket:
aws s3 cp ./someFile.txt s3://bucket/someFile.txt
aws s3 cp s3://bucketSource/someFile.txt s3://bucketDestination/someFile.txt
But is it possible to copy files from S3 to an EC2-Instance when you're not on the EC2-Instance? Something like:
aws s3 cp s3://bucket/folder/ ec2-user#1.2.3.4:8080/some/folder/
I'm trying to run this from Jenkins which is why I can't simply run the command on the EC2 like this:
aws s3 cp s3://bucket/folder/ ./my/destination/folder/on/the/ec2
Update:
I don't think this is possible so I'm going to look into using https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ssm/send-command.html
No.
The AWS CLI calls the AWS API. The APIs for Amazon S3 do not have the ability to interact with the operating system on an Amazon EC2 instance.
Your idea of using AWS Systems Manager is a good idea. You can send the command to the instance itself, and the instance can then upload/download objects to Amazon S3.
Since you have SSH access, you could also just run
ssh ec2-user#1.2.3.4:8080 "aws s3 cp s3://bucket/folder/ ./my/destination/folder/on/the/ec2"
... to run the command on the EC2 instance directly.
It's not as efficient as using send-command (because ssh will necessarily pipe the output of that command to your local terminal) but, if you're not transferring millions of files, the tradeoff in simplicity may be acceptable for you.
Using AWS System Manager send command :
#Copying file from S3 bucket to EC2 instance :
$Instance_Id='i-0123456xxx'
aws ssm send-command --document-name "AWS-RunShellScript" --document-version "\$DEFAULT" --targets "Key=instanceids,Values='$Instance_Id'" --parameters '{"commands":["aws s3 cp s3://s3-bucket/output-path/file-name /dirName/ "]}' --timeout-seconds 600 --max-concurrency "50" --max-errors "0" --region REGION_NAME
I want to move all my data from Bucket1 of account A to Bucket2 of account B.
For this:
I downloaded AWS CLI for Windows.
Entered IAM credentials using command aws configure (these credentials are from account B)
Run command to sync buckets: aws s3 sync s3://Bucket1 s3://Bucket2
I received following error:
fatal error: An error occured (InvalidRequest) when calling the ListObject operation: You are attempting to operate on a bucket in a region that requires Signature Version 4. You can fix this issue by explicitly providing the correct region location using the --region argument, the AWS_DEFAULT_REGION environment variable, or the region variable in the AWS CLI configuration file. You can get the bucket's location by running "aws s3api get-bucket-location --bucket BUCKET".
How to tackle this error?
aws --version
aws-cli/1.11.61 Python/2.7.9 windows/8 botocore/1.5.24
My S3 url was like :https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/home?region=us-east-1
so I supposed that us-east-1 is my region but actually it was not!
I used AWS command to find Bucket2 region and it told me a different region.
Then I used this command aws s3 sync s3://Bucket1 s3://Bucket2 --region Asia Pacific (Mumbai) and everything worked fine!
Look for the correct region of the bucket (see attached image).
Try the command below by specifying the correct region:
aws s3 ls --region us-west-2
S3 is global - don't let that mislead you.
I need to get the contents of one S3 bucket into another S3 bucket.
The buckets are in two different accounts.
I was told not to create a policy to allow access to the destination bucket from the origin bucket.
Using the AWS CLI how can I download all the contents of the origin bucket, and then upload the contents to the destination bucket?
To copy locally
aws s3 sync s3://origin /local/path
To copy to destination bucket:
aws s3 sync /local/path s3://destination
The aws cli allows you to configure named profiles which lets you use a different set of credentials for each individual cli command. This will be helpful because your buckets are in different accounts.
To create your named profiles you'll need to make sure you already have IAM users in each of your accounts and each user will need a set of access keys. Create your two named profiles like this.
aws configure --profile profile1
aws configure --profile profile2
Each of those commands will ask you for your access keys and a default region to use. Once you have your two profiles, use the aws cli like this.
aws s3 cp s3://origin /local/path --recursive --profile profile1
aws s3 cp /local/path s3://destination --recursive --profile profile2
Notice that you can use the --profile parameter to tell the cli which set of credentials to use for each command.
I need to download files recursively from a s3 bucket. The s3 bucket lets anonymous access.
How to list files and download them without providing AWS Access Key using an anonymous user?
My command is:
aws s3 cp s3://anonymous#big-data-benchmark/pavlo/text/tiny/rankings/uservisits uservisit --region us-east --recursive
The aws compains that:
Unable to locate credentials. You can configure credentials by running "aws configure"
You can use no-sign-request option
aws s3 cp s3://anonymous#big-data-benchmark/pavlo/text/tiny/rankings/uservisits uservisit --region us-east --recursive --no-sign-request
you probably have to provide an access keys and secret key, even if you're doing anonymous access. don't see an option for anonymous for the AWS cli.
another way to do this, it to hit the http endpoint and grab the files that way.
In your case: http://big-data-benchmark.s3.amazonaws.com
You will get and XML listing all the keys in the bucket. You can extract the keys and issues requests for each. Not the fastest thing out there but it will get the job done.
For example: http://big-data-benchmark.s3.amazonaws.com/pavlo/sequence-snappy/5nodes/crawl/000741_0
for getting the files curl should be enough. for parsing the xml depending on what you like you can go as lo-level as sed and as high-level as a proper language.
hope this helps.
In my amazon EC2 instance, I have a folder named uploads. In this folder I have 1000 images. Now I want to copy all images to my new S3 bucket. How can I do this?
First Option sm3cmd
Use s3cmd
s3cmd get s3://AWS_S3_Bucket/dir/file
Take a look at this s3cmd documentation
if you are on linux, run this on the command line:
sudo apt-get install s3cmd
or Centos, Fedore.
yum install s3cmd
Example of usage:
s3cmd put my.file s3://pactsRamun/folderExample/fileExample
Second Option
Using Cli from amazon
Update
Like #tedder42 said in the comments, instead of using cp, use sync.
Take a look at the following syntax:
aws s3 sync <source> <target> [--options]
Example:
aws s3 sync . s3://my-bucket/MyFolder
More information and examples available at Managing Objects Using High-Level s3 Commands with the AWS Command Line Interface
aws s3 sync your-dir-name s3://your-s3-bucket-name/folder-name
Important: This will copy each item in your named directory into the s3 bucket folder you selected. This will not copy your directory as a whole.
Or, you can use the following command for one selected file.
aws s3 sync your-dir-name/file-name s3://your-s3-bucket-name/folder-name/file-name
Or you can use a wild character to select all. Note that this will copy your directory as a whole and also generate metadata and save them to your s3 bucket folder.
aws s3 sync . s3://your-s3-bucket-name/folder-name
To copy from EC2 to S3 use the below code in the Command line of EC2.
First, you have to give "IAM Role with full s3 Access" to your EC2 instance.
aws s3 cp Your_Ec2_Folder s3://Your_S3_bucket/Your_folder --recursive
Also note on aws cli syncing with s3 it is multithreaded and uploads multiple parts of a file at one time. The number of threads however, is not configurable at this time.
aws s3 mv /home/inbound/ s3://test/ --recursive --region us-west-2
This can be done very simply. Follow the following steps:
Open the AWS EC2 on console.
Select the instance and navigate to actions.
Select instances settings and select Attach/Replace IAM Role
When this is done, connect to the AWS instance and the rest will be done via the following CLI commands:
aws s3 cp filelocation/filename s3://bucketname
Hence you don't need to install or do any extra efforts.
Please note... the file location refers to the local address. And the bucketname is the name of your bucket.
Also note: This is possible if your instance and S3 bucket are in the same account.
Cheers.
We do have a dryrun feature available for testing.
To begin with I would assign ec2-instance a role to be able read
write to S3
SSH into the instance and perform the following
vi tmp1.txt
aws s3 mv ./ s3://bucketname-bucketurl.com/ --dryrun
If this works then all you have to do is either create a script to
upload all files with specific from this folder to s3 bucket
I have done the wrritten the following command in my script to move
files older than 2 minutes from current directory to bucket/folder
cd dir; ls . -rt | xargs -I FILES find FILES -maxdepth 1 -name
'*.txt' -mmin +2 -exec aws s3 mv '{}' s3://bucketurl.com
