AWS S3 cli isn t working on Windows server

Question

 There is no problem running it on my Linux box, but when it comes to windows server 12 simple AWS S3 cli commands refuse to work.

When I tried running a simple copy command to a bucket. I got the following error:

Parameter validation failed:

Invalid length for parameter Key, value: 0, valid range: 1-inf

I had trouble understanding the error in first place. How do I deal with it?

Here's the command:

aws s3 cp test.zip s3://my-bucket

Following is the version:

aws-cli/1.11.158 Python/2.7.9 Windows/2012Server botocore/1.7.16

Answer 1

Following is the error message:

Invalid length for parameter Key

As per the error message you should specify a Key for your object (a filename basically). Consider this:

aws s3 cp test.zip s3://my-bucket/test.zip

Answer 2

The error message has nothing to do with specifying the file name on the destination file path (that will be taken from the origin). It has everything to do with having a valid access key and secret key setup.

Run the following command to verify if you have configured your credentials.

aws configure list

Answer 3

You might try this:

aws s3 cp test.zip s3://my-bucket --recursive

Answer 4

The error message:

Invalid length for parameter Key

This message occurs because you need to specify a Key for your object (a filename basically). Similar to this:-

aws s3 cp test.zip s3://my-bucket/test.zip
