S3 bucket file download

Let us start straight away with the methods to download files from the AWS S3 bucket. I will show you the method to download a single file, multiple files, or an entire bucket.

I will first show you the S3 console method and then the CLI method. Unfortunately, you cannot download multiple files or the entire bucket at the same time using the AWS console. You can download one file at a time. You will have to use the CLI method to download multiple files. As you can see in the picture below, when I select multiple files the download button gets disabled.

You can try the below steps and see if it works for you. These steps did not work for me but I have seen these working for others. You can definitely try. Note - If you are wondering, let me tell you that you do not need to specify any region in the below commands. To download the files as per your requirements, you can use the following command -.

To download the files one from the images folder in s3 and the other not in any folder from the bucket that I created, the following command can be used -.

And then we include the two files from the excluded files. Let us say we have three files in our bucket, file1, file2, and file3. And then with the help of include, we can include the files which we want to download. Example - --include "file1" will include the file1. To download the entire bucket, use the below command -. The above command downloads all the files from the bucket you specified in the local folder. As you may have noticed, we have used sync or cp in the above commands.

Just for your knowledge, the difference between the sync and cp is that the sync option syncs your bucket with the local folder whereas the cp command copies the objects you specified to the local folder. For our purpose to download files from s3 we can use either one of sync or cp.
