I have the proper access and role in IAM. I have administrator access. My aws s3 ls command works alright. I have done aws configure as well. But when I run the command :
aws s3 sync s3://my-bucket local_destination_folder
It only downloads until the last folder of the bucket and that folder is empty. I even tried the aws s3 cp command with --recursive switch, but nothing gets downloaded. I don't get any error as well.
I had same result, but the error was how I was setting the command for sync.
a) From local to S3 Bucket: Eg. create a file 'hi.txt' inside this path '/home/ec2-user/src_folder'
The sync command should be similar as:
aws s3 sync src_folder s3://your-bucket/dest_folder
Verify your files with:
aws s3 ls s3://your-bucket/dest_folder/
b) From S3 bucket all content to local
aws s3 sync s3://your-bucket .
I had the same issue, turns out windows is case insensitive so the path used in s3://.. is case sensitive. So make sure your s3 path all cases are as per the s3 bucket.
