To set up and use s3cmd
on most Linux distributions, you can follow these steps:
-
Install s3cmd: First, you need to install
s3cmd
. Depending on your Linux distribution, you can typically install it using the package manager.For example, on Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install s3cmd
On CentOS/RHEL:
sudo yum install s3cmd
-
Configure s3cmd: After installation, you need to configure
s3cmd
with you credentials. Run:s3cmd --configure
Follow the prompts to enter your Access Key, Secret Key, and preferred encryption settings.

Usage: Now, you can start using
s3cmd
to interact with your S3 buckets. Here are a few common commands:-
s3cmd ls s3://bucket-name
: List objects in a bucket. -
s3cmd put file.txt s3://bucket-name
: Upload a file to a bucket. -
s3cmd get s3://bucket-name/file.txt
: Download a file from a bucket. -
s3cmd mb s3://new-bucket
: Create a new bucket. -
s3cmd rb s3://bucket-name
: Remove a bucket (make sure it's empty first).

Make sure to replace bucket-name
with the name of your bucket and file.txt
