s3cmd failed too many times

Question

I used to be a happy s3cmd user. However recently when I try to transfer a large zip file (~7Gig) to Amazon S3, I am getting this error:

$> s3cmd put thef         


        

Answer 1

Search for .s3cfg file, generally in your Home Folder.

If you have it, you got the villain. Changing the following two parameters should help you.

socket_timeout = 1000
multipart_chunk_size_mb = 15
