Invalid bucket name s3 testdm Bucket name must match the regex a-zA-Z0-9 - 1 255

Question

I tried to view the content of my bucket but I am getting this error:

C:\Users\jino>aws s3 ls s3:\\testdm

Parameter validation failed:
Invalid bucket name "s3:\\testdm": Bucket name must match the regex "^[a-zA-Z0-9.\-_]{1,255}$"

Answer 1

This is a regular expression error, you are getting this error because you are using the wrong syntax.

Your statement should be as follows:

C:\Users\jino>aws s3 ls s3://testdm/

This will work well.

Answer 2

Instead of backslashes, use forward slashes

C:\Users\jino>aws s3 ls s3://testdm
