AWS - S3 Fundamentals

You want to upload all files from your local folder photos/ to the S3 bucket mybucket preserving folder structure. Which command should you use?

Aaws s3 sync photos/ s3://mybucket/

Baws s3 cp photos/ s3://mybucket/

Caws s3 cp photos/ s3://mybucket/ --no-recursive

Daws s3 mv photos/ s3://mybucket/ --recursive

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Understand folder upload options
