Copy an Object Using the AWS SDK for Ruby
The following tasks guide you through using the Ruby classes to copy an object in Amazon S3, from one bucket to another or to copy an object within the same bucket.
Copying Objects

2 |
Execute either the |
The following Ruby code sample demonstrates the preceding tasks using the
#copy_to method to copy an object from one bucket to
another.
s3 = AWS::S3.new # Upload a file and set server-side encryption. bucket1 = s3.buckets[source_bucket] bucket2 = s3.buckets[target_bucket] obj1 = bucket1.objects[source_key] obj2 = bucket2.objects[target_key] obj1.copy_to(obj2)
Example
The following Ruby script example makes a copy of an object using the
#copy_from method. The copied object with a
different key is saved in the same source bucket. For instructions about how
to create and test a working sample, see Using the AWS SDK for Ruby.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'aws-sdk'
AWS.config(
:access_key_id => '*** Provide access key ***',
:secret_access_key => '*** Provide secret key ***'
)
bucket_name = '*** Provide bucket name ***'
source_key = '*** Provide source key ***'
target_key = '*** Provide target key ***'
# Get an instance of the S3 interface.
s3 = AWS::S3.new
# Copy the object.
s3.buckets[bucket_name].objects[target_key].copy_from(source_key)
puts "Copying file #{source_key} to #{target_key}."
