将一个目录复制到同一Amazon S3存储桶中的另一个目录

Question

I am working with codeigniter. For Amazon I have used its library.

I need to rename a directory in an Amazon S3 bucket.

For that I used to copy one directory to another directory and the delete old directory after the copy, because I didn't get a direct way to rename the folder.

I have used this code :

$ci->s3->copyObject(
$ci->config->item("BUCKET"),  //bucket name
$originalPath . $csrf,  //source folder
 $ci->config->item("BUCKET"), //bucket name
$originalPath . $productId) //destination folder

But this is not working to copy one directory to another.

Please show me the correct way to rename a folder.

Answer 1

You can try this to move files from one folder to an existing other with the awscli :

aws s3 mv s3://your_bucket/old_folder/ s3://your_bucket/new_folder/ --recursive

If you want to copy the files change mv to cp .

Please be aware that your old_folder will not be deleted. It just will be empty after all files have been moved.
