How to force download text files from AWS S3 bucket

I have a test.txt file stored in an S3 bucket and when i click on "Open", i want it to get downloaded but it is opening in the browser itself. I have tried setting Content-disposition to attachment but it did not work. Is there any way to force download text and json files from S3? Thanks in advance.

When you click Open in the S3 console, it sends response-content-disposition=inline to S3 which overwrites whatever Content-Disposition set on the object to inline. Content-Disposition: inline indicates that the content of this file can be displayed inside the Web page. This is why setting Content-Disposition won't work in this case.

If you need to download the file (instead of opening it in the web page) from the S3 console, you can either

  • click Open
  • on the new popup page, right click and choose Save as ...

Or

  • click Download as in the S3 web console
