AWS S3 CLI error while trying to copy files locally using terminal

0 votes

I am trying to copy files locally from S3 Bucket using command :  aws s3 ls s3://myBucket/myDirectory/todaysFiles/

And i am getting a error

fatal error: An error occurred (404) when calling the HeadObject operation: Key "myDirectory/todaysFiles/" does not exist

If i try to copy individual file using command : 

 aws s3 cp s3://myBucket/myDirectory/todaysFiles/somefile 

i am getting an error

warning: Skipping file s3://myBucket/myDirectory/todaysFiles/somefile. Object is of storage class GLACIER. Unable to perform download operations on GLACIER objects. You must restore the object to be able to the perform operation. See aws s3 download help for additional parameter options to ignore or force these transfers.

And i have know idea as to why these errors are occurring. Any help would be appreciated.

For the first error you should add the recursive flag:

aws s3 cp s3://myBucket/myDirectory/todaysFiles/ . --recursive

This will copy all the files in the "todaysFiles" directory to the current directory.

But, the second error indicates that your files are in Glacier. This might complicate things as Glacier is not real time - depending on what you're willing to pay it can be hours before the data is restored. You can't copy from S3 until the object are restored from Glacier to S3. You can even check out the details of Migrating to AWS with the AWS Cloud Migration Certification.

Note that if you do this you will have costs from both Glacier and S3.
