Learn how to Upload Data Files to AWS S3 via CLI Tool | S3 Sync

The AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) is an open source tool that enables you to interact with AWS services using commands in your command-line shell. With minimal configuration, the AWS CLI enables you to start running commands that implement functionality equivalent to that provided by the browser-based AWS Management Console from the command prompt in your terminal program.

You can access the features of Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). The AWS CLI provides two tiers of commands for accessing Amazon S3:

s3 – High-level commands that simplify performing common tasks, such as creating, manipulating, and deleting objects and buckets.

s3api – Exposes direct access to all Amazon S3 API operations which enables you to carry out advanced operations.

We will show how to upload data files from local machine to the cloud via CLI commands.

Just 2 cents- as mentioned in video that aws s3 sync command is used because it recursively copies the data. Again, this can be achieved even using aws s3 cp command with recursive paramater as well. The only use case why command aws s3 sync command should be used sud be to cop the file or update it only if the file is not found or updated compared to source location

Nice video.
Please what command do you use to make your files in a bucket publicly assessible on the CLI?
I mean if you browse using the URL link.
Not on the AWS console using the "Make public using ACL", but on the CLI.
