download files from s3 bucket using C#

Question

I am kind of new to AWS s3 bucket concept. I am suppose to download files from folder "TODAY FILE1" in s3 bucket and use it. I know how to do it in command line using command prompt. I do not know how to implement in C#.

Suppose

Here's what I do it command prompt

C:\> aws s3 cp "s3://mys3bucket-output/TODAY FILE1" . --recursive

this is what I do it C# program and get error

string accessKey = "abc123";
string secretKey = "secret123";
string bucketName = "mys3bucket-output"
TransferUtility fileTransferUtility =   new TransferUtility(new AmazonS3Client(accessKey, secretKey, Amazon.RegionEndpoint.USEast2));


BasicAWSCredentials basicCredentials = new BasicAWSCredentials(accessKey,secretKey);
AmazonS3Client s3Client = new AmazonS3Client(new BasicAWSCredentials(accessKey, secretKey), Amazon.RegionEndpoint.USEast2);
ListObjectsRequest request = new ListObjectsRequest();

ListObjectsResponse response = s3Client.ListObjects(request.BucketName= bucketName, request.Prefix="TODAY FILE1/");

foreach (S3Object obj in response.S3Objects)
{
    try
    {
        Console.WriteLine("{0}", obj.Key);
        fileTransferUtility.Download(@"C:\Temp", bucketName, obj.Key);

    }
    catch (Exception Excep)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(Excep.Message, Excep.InnerException);
    }
}

I get an exception Amazon.Runtime.AmazonServiceException: 'Access to the path 'C:\Temp' is denied

I do not know what to do Thanks MR

Create the files before writing:

foreach (S3Object obj in response.S3Objects)
{
    try
    {
        string filename = directoryPath + "\\" + obj.Key;
        FileStream fs = File.Create(filename);
        fs.Close();
        Console.WriteLine("{0}", obj.Key);
        fileTransferUtility.Download(filename, bucketName, obj.Key);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message, ex.InnerException);
    }
}
