[SOLVED] Unable to download aws s3 glacier objects

Unable to download aws s3 glacier objects

I was trying to copy all the files from my S3 bucket to a local folder in VM and I am getting the following error:

warning: Skipping file s3://bucket/object. Object is of storage class GLACIER.
Unable to perform download operations on GLACIER objects. You must restore the
object to be able to perform the operation. See aws s3 download help for
additional parameter options to ignore or force these transfers.

Glacier error

To copy files from my S3 bucket to local folder I used the following command:

aws s3 cp s3://${s3Location} ${localDumpPath}

Where:

${s3Location} = my s3 location and
${localDumpPath} = my localfolder path

What do I need to change to be able to copy successfully?

Solution

I fixed the issue by using the following command:

aws s3 cp s3://${s3Location} ${localDumpPath} --storage-class STANDARD --recursive --force-glacier-transfer
