CLI

AWS CLI

The following example uses the get-object command to download an object from Amazon S3:


aws s3api get-object --bucket text-content --key dir/my_images.tar.bz2 my_images.tar.bz2

Note that the outfile parameter is specified without an option name such as "--outfile". The name of the output file must be the last parameter in the command.

The example below demonstrates the use of --range to download a specific byte range from an object. Note the byte ranges needs to be prefixed with "bytes=":


aws s3api get-object --bucket text-content --key dir/my_data --range bytes=8888-9999 my_data_range

For more information about retrieving objects, see Getting Objects in the Amazon S3 Developer Guide.

PowerShell

Tools for PowerShell

Example 1: This command retrieves item "sample.txt" from bucket "test-files" and saves it to a file named "local-sample.txt" in the current location. The file "local-sample.txt" does not have to exist before this command is called.


Read-S3Object -BucketName test-files -Key sample.txt -File local-sample.txt

Example 2: This command retrieves virtual directory "DIR" from bucket "test-files" and saves it to a folder named "Local-DIR" in the current location. The folder "Local-DIR" does not have to exist before this command is called.


Read-S3Object -BucketName test-files -KeyPrefix DIR -Folder Local-DIR

Example 3: Downloads all objects with keys ending in '.json' from buckets with 'config' in the bucket name to files in the specified folder. The object keys are used to set the filenames.


Get-S3Bucket | ? { $_.BucketName -like '*config*' } | Get-S3Object | ? { $_.Key -like '*.json' } | Read-S3Object -Folder C:\ConfigObjects
