Downloading an entire S3 bucket?

    I noticed that there doesn't seem to be an option to download an entire S3 bucket from the AWS Management Console.

    Is there an easy way to grab everything in one of my buckets? I was thinking about making the root folder public, using wget to grab it all, and then making it private again but I don't know if there's an easier way

    If you only want to download the bucket from AWS, first install the AWS CLI in your machine. In terminal change the directory to where you want to download the files and run this command.

    aws s3 sync s3://bucket-name .

     

    If you also want to sync the both local and s3 directories (in case you added some files in local folder), run this command:

    aws s3 sync . s3://bucket-name

    I've used a few different methods to copy Amazon S3 data to a local machine, including s3cmd, and by far the easiest is Cyberduck.

    All you need to do is enter your Amazon credentials and use the simple interface to download, upload, sync any of your buckets, folders or files.

    To download using AWS S3 CLI:

    aws s3 cp s3://WholeBucket LocalFolder --recursive
    aws s3 cp s3://Bucket/Folder LocalFolder --recursive

    To download using code, use the AWS SDK.
    To download using GUI, use Cyberduck.
