Trying to copy a folder from s3 bucket to a network drive on my computer G, into a folder DBA_TEAM, I get an error

PS H:\PRODUCTION_WORK\AWSMIGRATION\CommandLineInterface> aws s3 cp –recursive s3://ojp-forecaster-01/NONCLOBBLOB/GMSG2K/ G:/DBA_TEAM

aws : At line:2 char:1

  • aws s3 cp –recursive s3://ojp-forecaster-01/NONCLOBBLOB/GMSG2K/ G:/DB ...
  •   + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:String) [], RemoteException
      + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError
    

Unknown options: G:/DBA_TEAM

PS H:\PRODUCTION_WORK\AWSMIGRATION\CommandLineInterface> aws s3 cp –R s3://ojp-forecaster-01/NONCLOBBLOB/GMSG2K/ G:/DBA_TEAM

aws : At line:2 char:1

  • aws s3 cp –R s3://ojp-forecaster-01/NONCLOBBLOB/GMSG2K/ G:/DBA_TEAM

whereas as when I copy an individual file from the folder it works

PS H:\PRODUCTION_WORK\AWSMIGRATION\CommandLineInterface> aws s3 cp s3://ojp-forecaster-01/NONCLOBBLOB/GMSG2K/CCR_REGISTRATION_CLAIM/LOAD00000001.csv G:\DBA_TEAM\FlatFile\nonclob\CCR_REGISTRATION_CLAIM

Hi, From https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/s3/cp.html, it seems that --recursive should come after the 2 paths not before.

Also see examples at https://www.learnaws.org/2022/03/01/aws-s3-cp-recursive/
