ls¶
List S3 objects and common prefixes under a prefix or all S3 buckets.
Note
This command ignores the --output
and --no-paginate
arguments.
Synopsis¶
ls <S3Uri> or NONE
[--recursive]
[--page-size <value>]
[--human-readable]
[--summarize]
Options¶
paths
(string)
--recursive
(Boolean)
Command is performed on all files or objects under the specified directory or prefix.
--page-size
(integer)
The number of results to return in each response to a list operation. The default value is 1000 (the maximum allowed). Using a lower value may help if an operation times out.
--human-readable
(Boolean)
Displays file sizes in human readable format.
--summarize
(Boolean)
Displays summary information (number of objects, total size).
Examples¶
The following ls
command lists all of the bucket owned by the user. In this
example, the user owns the buckets mybucket
and mybucket2
. The
timestamp is the date the bucket was created, shown in your machine’s time zone.
Note if s3://
is used for the path argument <S3Uri>
, it will list all of
the buckets as well:
aws s3 ls
Output:
2013-07-11 17:08:50 mybucket
2013-07-24 14:55:44 mybucket2
The following ls
command lists objects and common prefixes under a specified
bucket and prefix. In this example, the user owns the bucket mybucket
with
the objects test.txt
and somePrefix/test.txt
. The LastWriteTime
and
Length
are arbitrary. Note that since the ls
command has no interaction
with the local filesystem, the s3://
URI scheme is not required to resolve
ambiguity and may be omitted:
aws s3 ls s3://mybucket
Output:
PRE somePrefix/
2013-07-25 17:06:27 88 test.txt
The following ls
command lists objects and common prefixes under a specified
bucket and prefix. However, there are no objects nor common prefixes under the
specified bucket and prefix:
aws s3 ls s3://mybucket/noExistPrefix
Output:
None
The following ls
command will recursively list objects in a bucket. Rather
than showing PRE dirname/
in the output, all the content in a bucket will be
listed in order:
aws s3 ls s3://mybucket --recursive
Output:
2013-09-02 21:37:53 10 a.txt
2013-09-02 21:37:53 2863288 foo.zip
2013-09-02 21:32:57 23 foo/bar/.baz/a
2013-09-02 21:32:58 41 foo/bar/.baz/b
2013-09-02 21:32:57 281 foo/bar/.baz/c
2013-09-02 21:32:57 73 foo/bar/.baz/d
2013-09-02 21:32:57 452 foo/bar/.baz/e
2013-09-02 21:32:57 896 foo/bar/.baz/hooks/bar
2013-09-02 21:32:57 189 foo/bar/.baz/hooks/foo
2013-09-02 21:32:57 398 z.txt
The following ls
command demonstrates the same command using the –human-readable
and –summarize options. –human-readable displays file size in
Bytes/MiB/KiB/GiB/TiB/PiB/EiB. –summarize displays the total number of objects
and total size at the end of the result listing:
aws s3 ls s3://mybucket --recursive --human-readable --summarize
Output:
2013-09-02 21:37:53 10 Bytes a.txt
2013-09-02 21:37:53 2.9 MiB foo.zip
2013-09-02 21:32:57 23 Bytes foo/bar/.baz/a
