How do I zip and download a file from s3?

Question

I'm on a machine that is connected to my S3 bucket. I'd like to download a file.

I tried to use sync .

aws s3 sync s3://my_bucket/my_file/file.csv

It told me I didn't have enough arguments. Is there another way I could do this?

Answer 1

Try aws s3 cp s3://my_bucket/my_file/file.csv .
