How to download s3 bucket folder

Question

I want to download a folder from AWS S3. Please suggest me a method for it.

Answer 1

To Download using AWS S3 CLI :

aws s3 cp s3://WholeBucket LocalFolder --recursive
aws s3 cp s3://Bucket/Folder LocalFolder --recursive

To Download using Code, Use AWS SDK .

To Download using GUI, Use Cyberduck .

Hope it Helps.. :)

Comments

@eatcodesleeprepeat, What is the difference between AWS SDK and Cyberduck?
And where do those 2 CLI commands mentioned above fit? Only via code right?

Answer 2

To download files from S3, either use cp or sync command on AWS CLI.
 aws s3 cp s3://bucketname/dir localdirectory --recursive

(use --recursive in case of any error)

 aws s3 sync s3://bucketname/dir localdirectory

Hi,

You can download a folder from S3 in two ways. One is from the Web UI. And another one is with the CLI command.

$aws s3 cp s3://Bucket/Folder LocalFolder --recursive
