Answer 1

We do have a dryrun feature available for testing.

• To begin with I would assign ec2-instance a role to be able read write to S3
• SSH into the instance and perform the following
• vi tmp1.txt
• aws s3 mv ./ s3://bucketname-bucketurl.com/ --dryrun
• If this works then all you have to do is either create a script to upload all files with specific from this folder to s3 bucket
• I have done the wrritten the following command in my script to move files older than 2 minutes from current directory to bucket/folder
• cd dir; ls . -rt | xargs -I FILES find FILES -maxdepth 1 -name '*.txt' -mmin +2 -exec aws s3 mv '{}' s3://bucketurl.com
