Move files from Buckets to local site with PowerShell

Question

Hi everyone,

currently we are doing some testing regarding S3 buckets.
We have an on-premise environment with some windows servers and we want to exchange files between on-premise and our S3 buckets by using Windows PowerShell Scripts.

Actually, it is already working quite well. So we can read and write data to/from the buckets. 
However, we also need to MOVE the files after successfully transferred from bucket to our windows environment. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a “Move” Command so far. I can only read and after that I can execute the delete command but that’s not exactly what we need.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Have you looked in the s3 cli? You can try:
- [aws s3 mv](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3/mv.html)
- [aws s3 sync](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3/sync.html)

Hi Aktuator,

If you don't have AWS Cli installed you can check the step-by-step here: [AWS Docs - AWS Cli Getting started](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html#getting-started-install-instructions). It has all the information you need to setup the AWS Cli in your Windows OS.

After installing it I recommend checking the [AWS Cli Documentation](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/index.html), more specifically, the [S3 commands](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/s3/index.html). And just like AWS-User answered, the commands you are probably looking for are **aws s3 mv** and **aws s3 sync**.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
