These steps did not work for me but I have seen these working for others. You can definitely try. Note - If you are wondering, let me tell you that you do not need to specify any region in the below commands. To download the files as per your requirements, you can use the following command -.
To download the files one from the images folder in s3 and the other not in any folder from the bucket that I created, the following command can be used -. And then we include the two files from the excluded files. Let us say we have three files in our bucket, file1, file2, and file3. And then with the help of include, we can include the files which we want to download. Example - --include "file1" will include the file1. To download the entire bucket, use the below command -.
The above command downloads all the files from the bucket you specified in the local folder. As you may have noticed, we have used sync or cp in the above commands. Just for your knowledge, the difference between the sync and cp is that the sync option syncs your bucket with the local folder whereas the cp command copies the objects you specified to the local folder.
For our purpose to download files from s3 we can use either one of sync or cp. I believe this post helped you solve your problem. I hope you got what you were looking for and you learned something valuable.

Take a look at the picture, you see the word "FAIL". If yes, then I have great news for you, because I'll show you why it's happening and how to make sure it doesn't happen again.
And if it doesn't sound familiar and you haven't had your members say those things to you yet , then I have even better news for you, because in this article, I'll show you how to make sure it never happens to your members - not even once.
If you are have a self- hosted WordPress website, and you have a membership site or online course, then you're probably creating a bunch of Audio, Video, PDF, Zip, Doc, etc. And you need a place to securely store them so that only authorized and paying members can access them. And you need a a way to securely deliver them to your visitors, subscribers or members such that they can conveniently consume your content - for eg.
And you should have that choice. Why can't you just upload these files to your website via FTP or through the WordPress Media page and just store them on your own website? After all, you have "Unlimited Hosting" and "Unlimited Bandwidth" from your web host, so why not take advantage of it, right? That's a great question asked by a lot of WordPress users.
And here's why. And that could cause a big spike in server utilization on your web host. Don't forget - when a file is downloaded from your website, it's not just your server's "bandwidth" that is being used. Your server has to allocate server resources to stay connected with that person downloading the file, and has to make sure the file gets delivered fully.
And that's even without any kind of security on the file. So if you try to protect the file with some kind of a plain PHP script, now that means any request to the file is intercepted by your PHP download protector script, and that script has to to be running the entire time that the file is being downloaded.
That's not a big deal for smaller files, but when it comes to audio, or more specifically video, we're talking about potentially tens or hundreds of MB's in file size.
And that's just for one file. If you have an online course, then you now have tens of such videos, audio and PDF. Then add tens of different members who bought your online course trying to access them at- or around the same time. All of this could cause a massive spike in your actual server resources - like memory, number of concurrent PHP threads running, etc. When you release a new episode, your RSS feed could get hundreds or hopefully thousands of requests, and that will in turn download hundreds or thousands of copies of your MP3 file.
And that can put a great strain on your web host. If you're an online course creator or just sell digital information products using WordPress, store all of your premium Video, Audio and PDF on the super-fast and powerful media hosting service Amazon S3 - a part of Amazon Web Services AWS - easily the biggest and most powerful Cloud Platform, running on Amazon's powerful servers all around the world more detailed explanation below.
Then use a plugin like S3MediaVault. Then add AWS CloudFront a layer on to of S3, explained further in this article to it to deliver that content blazing-fast speeds. So if S3 can be compared to express overnight shipping, adding CloudFront is like 2-hour delivery. Zippity zappity boom! Podcasters : Use a regular podcast host like Libsyn what I use and recommend; coupon code subscribeme gets you up to 2 months free , BluBrry or PodBean.
Or if you must host your own RSS feed, you can do that with PowerPress, but don't host the actual files on your own server. Use a quality podcast host for that. It's against the TOS of many of those services, plus free hosts can disappear overnight, and they're still not optimized for audio delivery for podcasts. What is Amazon S3? To oversimplify it, Amazon S3 is basically a " hard-disk in the cloud " to store all kinds of files and other data from and for your website.
Think of it like Google Drive or Dropbox, except way more powerful - and useful for businesses looking to store data in the cloud and then access and manipulate that data across different websites and servers and systems. It lets you do a lot of really cool stuff with the data you store there. But this is not an article for developers. There is a ton of technical documentation for that. T his article is more about how and why it's relevant and useful for you - if you're a blogger, entrepreneur, digital marketer, content creator, podcaster, course creator, eBook author, Audiobook creator, etc - and you create digital content as part of your free content marketing, for your lead-magnets email bribe , bonus content as well as paid content for your patrons, subscribers, and members of your membership site or online course.
This article is not about helping you write a plugin or software using S3, but to help you understand - as a digital creator - how and why to use S3 to store and securely deliver the content that you're creating, from S3 into your own WordPress website. In an earlier section, I wrote about why you should not store your video, audio, pdf, zip, doc and other files on your own web host. Now the next question is, if you store all of your files on S3, then you'll have a whole new set of questions and challenges, like And that's where a plugin like S3MediaVault.
Here's the basic idea behind how this works:. Per Wikipedia :. The goal is to provide high availability and high performance by distributing the service spatially relative to end-users. CDNs came into existence in the late s as a means for alleviating the performance bottlenecks of the Internet, even as the Internet was starting to become a mission-critical medium for people and enterprises.
Since then, CDNs have grown to serve a large portion of the Internet content today, including web objects text, graphics and scripts , downloadable objects media files, software, documents , applications e-commerce, portals , live streaming media, on-demand streaming media, and social media sites.
CDNs are a layer in the internet ecosystem. Content owners such as media companies and e-commerce vendors pay CDN operators to deliver their content to their end users.
See the 2nd image in the next section below comparing the use of S3 by itself, vs. Short answer: No, you don't have to use both. But it is definitely recommended that you use both together for the best scalability and performance. Amazon S3 by itself - along with a plugin like S3MediaVault - is good enough for data storage and secure delivery for most folks just getting started. And that kind of scalability and performance does become important as your website, grows, along with the number of visitors, free subscribers and paying members.
The above image shows the drop-down of locations that you have to choose from when creating your bucket. So S3 makes you choose that location before you can create a bucket, and only then you can upload files to that bucket. Virginia US West N. So to begin with, you would create a S3 bucket in the region closest to where most of your audience is. However, with an online business, it is not always easy to predict where your audience is going to come from, let alone predicting where your true fans are located.
And the farther they are from the S3 data center in Ohio in the United States, then the longer even if just a bit it will take for the media to load in their browser. Obviously we're talking about all other things being equal and standardized, like speed of computer, and internet access etc. So if they're in the UK, then the data is served to them from the data center closest to them in the UK, even though the source file is in the Ohio data center.
And that file is cached in the local "edge" network the very first time, and from that point, all UK visitors will get the file quickly delivered from their nearest edge location. The image above on the left shows you how the users from different countries will be accessing your files if you are just using Amazon S3 alone.
And the image on the right shows you how your media is accessed by those same users from those same locations, except, this time you have CloudFront enabled. So Amazon CloudFront is an additional layer that sits on top of your Amazon S3 bucket, and speeds up the delivery of the media in your S3 bucket. The image on the left above, shows that your Amazon S3 bucket is a single location stored in the cloud, and when visitors to your website from all over the world try to access a video, audio, pdf or other media stored in that S3 bucket, they are still served those files from that one central location.
And from that point onwards, every US person who tries to access that video, will be served that video from the local cloud, and not from the S3 bucket. A CDN is basically a cloud "network". So this network still needs the files to be stored somewhere, preferably on a high-availability "hard-disk in the cloud". And that's what S3 is. And to give you a quick peek behind what's involved, creating true-streaming videos involves the use of a secure and scalable "hard disk in the cloud" - aka, Amazon S3.
Then you need to convert this "regular" video explained further below into a "stream". So a regular mp4 video file is chopped up into smaller "segments" and delivered piece-by-piece, in real-time. And to do this, you need a cloud-based service that will do this "chopping up" - aka Amazon MediaConvert. So you basically need S3, CloudFront and MediaConvert in order to store, create and securely deliver a streaming video.
