aws s3 mb s3://bigdata -->Bucket created

aws s3 mb s3://bigdata/Year/ --> It not working

Answer 1

Use the below syntax, this is what I am using to create bucket and subfolders. Don't forget the "/" at end of the folder name.

aws s3api put-object --bucket <your-bucket-name> --key <folder-name>/test.txt --body yourfile.txt

Answer 2

If local file is foo.txt, and remote "folder" Year does not yet exist, then to create it, just put the file at the designated path:

$ aws s3 cp foo.txt s3://bigdata/Year/ --recursive

Or if local folder is YearData containing foo.txt, bar.txt,

$ aws s3 cp YearData s3://bigdata/Year/ --recursive
upload: YearData/foo.txt to s3://bigdata/Year/foo.txt
upload: YearData/bar.txt to s3://bigdata/Year/bar.txt
