I have zipped files in an S3 bucket that I need to bring back to my EC2 instance. In the past, I moved the documents to S3 with the following command:
aws s3 cp /my/ec2/path/ s3://my/s3/path/ --exclude '*' --include '2014-01*’ —-recursive
To move files from January 2014 back to EC2, I have tried the following command:
aws s3 cp s3://my/s3/path/ //my/ec2/path/ --exclude '*' --include '2014-01*' --recursive
My understanding is that this command excludes all files but then includes all files with the prefix '2014-01'. I have confirmed that this is how the files I want start. I have also tried only one forward slash before mainstorage and including fewer files.
I have followed these two links from Amazon:

Open a new command prompt and run the following command replacing the fields as needed: scp -P 2222 Source-File-Path user-fqdn @localhost: To copy the entire directory instead of a file, use scp -r before the path. This recursively copies all of the directory's contents to the destination EC2 instance.
Apart from using the AWS CLI commands, Windows users can copy files from S3 to EBS volumes by using RDP into a Windows instance. After you connect to the AWS Management Console, you can directly copy files from the S3 Console to your EBS volumes.
Figured it out. The key was to define the filepath in --include , i.e. --include '2014-1'. Correct command:
aws s3 cp s3://my/s3/path //my/ec2/path/ --exclude '*' --include '*2014-01*' --recursive
