To copy data from DASH to an AWS S3 bucket, you need to install the AWS client on your home directory in DASH.  Below are the instructions:


From your DASH /home directory:

'curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip" '

'unzip awscliv2.zip'

'cd aws'

'mkdir -p /home/<NetID>/local/aws'

'./install -i /home/<NetID>/local/aws -b /home/<NetID>/bin'

'which aws' (verify that the path to the binary you just installed is shown)

'aws --version' (show aws cli version)

'aws configure' (select options from menus to configure account settings)


To COPY to your DHTS AWS S3 bucket:

'aws s3 cp /data/<labname>s3://dhts AWS bucket name --recursive'
