Use CreateMultipartUpload with an AWS SDK or CLI - Amazon Simple Storage Service

Use CreateMultipartUpload with an AWS SDK or CLI

The following code examples show how to use CreateMultipartUpload.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code examples:

//! Create a multipart upload.
/*!
    \param bucket: The name of the S3 bucket where the object will be uploaded.
    \param key: The unique identifier (key) for the object within the S3 bucket.
    \param client: The S3 client instance used to perform the upload operation.
    \return Aws::String: Upload ID or empty string if failed.

Aws::String
AwsDoc::S3::createMultipartUpload(const Aws::String &bucket, const Aws::String &key,
                                  Aws::S3::Model::ChecksumAlgorithm checksumAlgorithm,
                                  const Aws::S3::S3Client &client) {
    Aws::S3::Model::CreateMultipartUploadRequest request;
    request.SetBucket(bucket);
    request.SetKey(key);

    if (checksumAlgorithm != Aws::S3::Model::ChecksumAlgorithm::NOT_SET) {
        request.SetChecksumAlgorithm(checksumAlgorithm);
    }

    Aws::S3::Model::CreateMultipartUploadOutcome outcome =
            client.CreateMultipartUpload(request);

    Aws::String uploadID;
    if (outcome.IsSuccess()) {
        uploadID = outcome.GetResult().GetUploadId();
    } else {
        std::cerr << "Error creating multipart upload: " << outcome.GetError().GetMessage() << std::endl;
    }

    return uploadID;
}
CLI
AWS CLI

The following command creates a multipart upload in the bucket my-bucket with the key multipart/01:

aws s3api create-multipart-upload --bucket my-bucket --key 'multipart/01'

Output:

{
    "Bucket": "my-bucket",
    "UploadId": "dfRtDYU0WWCCcH43C3WFbkRONycyCpTJJvxu2i5GYkZljF.Yxwh6XG7WfS2vC4to6HiV6Yjlx.cph0gtNBtJ8P3URCSbB7rjxI5iEwVDmgaXZOGgkk5nVTW16HOQ5l0R",
    "Key": "multipart/01"
}

The completed file will be named 01 in a folder called multipart in the bucket my-bucket. Save the upload ID, key and bucket name for use with the upload-part command.
