AWS provides a CLI for manipulating files on the S3 bucket. A simple command to copy from a S3 bucket to a local directory is as follows:
[ec2-user ~] # aws s3 cp s3://<bucketname>/<path to file>/<filename> myfile.txt
The AWS cp command is very similar to the Linux cp command, which requires the source and destination paths of the file to be copied.
Similarly, you can use the following command to copy a file back from a local directory to the S3 bucket:
[ec2-user ~] # aws s3 cp myfile.txt s3://<bucketname>/<path to file>/myfile.txt
You can also use the sync command to continuously sync the contents of the local directory and S3 bucket:
[ec2-user ~] # aws s3 sync s3://<bucket>/<path> <local directory> ...
