I have two issues I need help with on bash, linux and s3cmd.
First, I'm running into linux permission issue. I am trying to download zip files from a s3 bucket using s3cmd with following command in a bash script.sh:
/usr/bin/s3cmd get s3://<bucketname>/<folder>/zipfilename.tar.gz
I am seeing following error: permission denied.
If I try to run this command manually from command line on a linux machine, it works and downloads the file:
sudo /usr/bin/s3cmd get s3://<bucketname>/<folder>/zipfilename.tar.gz
I really don't want to use sudo in front of the command in the script. How do I get this command to work? Do I need to give chown permission to the script.sh which is actually sitting in a path i.e /foldername/script.sh or how do I get this get command to work?
Two: Once I get this command to work, How do I get it to download from s3 to the linux home dir: ~/ ? Do I have to specifically issue a command in the bash script: cd ~/ before the above download command?
I really appreciate any help and guidance.
First, determine what's failing and the reason, otherwise you won't find the answer.
You can specify the destination in order to avoid permission problems when the script is invoked using a directory that's not writeable by that process
/usr/bin/s3cmd get s3:////zipfilename.tar.gz /path/to/writeable/destination/zipfilename.tar.gz
