Using AWS CP command can we upload local zip file to s3?

Question

aws s3 --region cp XXX.zip s3://XXX --recursive --acl public-read

I am using above command to upload my local zip to s3 but not working

Answer 1

--recursive flag is the problem. It is causing the filename to be interpreted as directory which is not, it is a file. This sounds like a bug/annoyance of the AWS command. From the Docs (docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3/cp.html)

--recursive (boolean) Command is performed on all files or objects under the specified directory or prefix.

Remove --recursive and the file is copied

aws s3 --region us-east-1 cp XXX.zip s3://XXX --acl public-read
