Hello all , my first post here so please be gentle.

 

I am new to AWS and S3cmd.

I have a bucket that I upload videos to, now I try to copy these videos over
to an EC2 instance and onto an EBS volume.

Copying one file is not an issue, however copying an entire dir over is a
pain.

 

>From what I can tell, it does not really work like I expected unless I am
doing something wrong.. I assumed s3cmd worked like rsync a bit.

 

I am trying to copy a bunch of dirs from a bucket to local ebs drive, but I
can never get recursive to work, it always just copies stuff to current dir
and never creates the local dir. if I create the dir first and then sync or
get it will go into the dir, this is a pain as I have 1000's of dirs to copy
and creating each one first is a pain, unless that's the only way it works?

 

My command I am using is this

 

[root@ip-10-68-xx-xx 001]# s3cmd get -r --skip-existing
s3://mybucket/videosFolder/001/1087 . 

s3://reelmoviestest/videosFolder/001/1087 -> ./1087  [1 of 1]

0 of 0     0% in    0s     0.00 B/s  done

 

So all this does is create a file named 1087 and nothing else

 

If I do this

[root@ip-10-68-xx-xx 001]# s3cmd get -r --skip-existing
s3://mybucket/videosFolder/001/1087/ .

 

It just dumps the file in current dir

 

How would I get this dir 1087 into current dir without having to create the
dir its self?

 

Thanks.

And have a great day!
