AWS CLI S3 Command Generator
Generate AWS CLI S3 commands - cp, sync, rm, mb, and presigned URLs - text only, never executed.
Choose an S3 operation and fill in the paths - this tool generates the exact aws s3 CLI command.
For non-S3 AWS CLI commands (EC2, Lambda, IAM), see the general AWS CLI Command Generator.
What Does This Tool Cover?
The aws s3 and aws s3api CLI commands for common file operations - copying files to/from S3, syncing a whole directory, removing objects, creating a bucket, and generating presigned URLs for temporary access.
Why Use This Tool?
aws s3 cp vs. aws s3 sync have different semantics (sync only transfers changed files and can delete extras with --delete), and it's easy to reach for the wrong one. This tool generates the right command for your specific intent.
How to Use It
- Choose an operation: copy, sync, remove, make bucket, or presigned URL.
- Enter the relevant local and/or S3 paths.
- Copy the generated command and run it with your own AWS CLI credentials configured.
Limitations
This builds command text only - it never accesses any real S3 bucket. aws s3 sync --delete removes destination files not present in the source, so review the paths carefully before running it for real.
