aws s3 cp s3://mybucket/file.txt ./
But get an error 'Access Denied'. What is the likely cause?

AThe file.txt does not exist locally

BYou do not have permission to read the object

CThe local folder is full

DThe bucket does not exist

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the error 'Access Denied'
This error usually means the user lacks permission to access the object in the bucket.
Step 2: Check other options
If the bucket did not exist, the error would be different. Local folder space or local file presence does not cause this error.
Final Answer:
You do not have permission to read the object -> Option B
Quick Check:
Access Denied = Permission issue [OK]

Quick Trick: Access Denied means missing read permission [OK]
