Cannot Download My Glacier Files

Question

After step 7 on the "Downloading an Archive in Amazon S3 Glacier Using the AWS CLI" page  (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/downloading-an-archive-using-cli.html) there is a drop-off of information. I've done everything correctly but am at a loss on what to do with the "output_file_name"
Do I paste it somewhere? I've been able to sucessfully delete archives (one at a time) and will just continue to do so until all my files are gone so I can sucessfully discontinue this service, but would prefer to be able to download MY files on my terms. Please advise

Accepted Answer

Hello.

I checked the command reference.  
There seems to be no problem if you enter the file name you want to use for "output_file_name".
