aws s3 mv /path/to/file s3://destinationbucket/destinationobject

Options​

  • source: s3://bucketname/dest/to/object || /path/to/local/file: The source file or directory.
  • destination: s3://bucketname/dest/to/object || /path/to/local/file: The destination where the file or directory will be moved.
  • --recursive: Move directories and their contents to a new location.
