Way to automatically upload files to S3 from my server

Question

I have a project to complete and I am stuck at a point. Could we upload files from our server into S3 automatically at a certain time interval?

For example: A part of the data should be uploaded and from then, for every one hour, the next set of data should get uploaded.

Answer 1

Follow this steps;

1. Create a script file for example name it script.sh.

2. Add this to the script.sh file and save the file

   #!/bin/bash
   aws s3 cp /local-folder-path/  s3://bucket-name`
   

3. Install AWS CLI

4. Create a IAM user that has access to that S3 bucket and add his AWS Key and Key secret to AWS Configure Link

5. Set up a cron job for 1 hour. And you are done those files will be copied to S3 bucket each hour.
