Introduction:
In today's era of vast digital content, managing and accessing video files efficiently is crucial. Amazon S3, a popular object storage service, provides a scalable and reliable solution for storing and retrieving large amounts of data. In this blog post, we'll explore a straightforward method for downloading multiple videos from an S3 bucket using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI).
Prerequisites:
Before diving into the process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
AWS CLI Installed: Ensure that you have the AWS CLI installed on your machine. You can download and install it from the official AWS CLI website.
AWS CLI Configured: Configure the AWS CLI with your AWS access key, secret key, and default region using the aws configure command.
Creating a List of Video Names:
To start, you need a list of video names you want to download. Create a text file, for example, video_names.txt, and list each video name on a separate line:
video1.mp4
video2.mp4
video3.mp4
The Download Script:
Next, create a Bash script to automate the download process. Use a text editor to create a file named download_videos.sh with the following content:
#!/bin/bash
# Replace 'YOUR_BUCKET_NAME' with your S3 bucket name
BUCKET_NAME="YOUR_BUCKET_NAME"
# Replace '/your/local/download/path/' with the local path where you want to save the downloaded videos
LOCAL_PATH="/your/local/download/path/"
# Loop through each video name in the file
while IFS= read -r video_name; do
# Use AWS CLI to download the video
aws s3 cp "s3://$BUCKET_NAME/$video_name" "$LOCAL_PATH$video_name" --region xx-xxx-x
done < video_names.txt
Replace 'YOUR_BUCKET_NAME' with your actual S3 bucket name and '/your/local/download/path/' with the local path where you want to save the downloaded videos.
Making the Script Executable:
Before running the script, make it executable using the following command:
chmod +x download_videos.sh
Executing the Script:
Run the script with the following command:
./download_videos.sh
The script will read each video name from the video_names.txt file and use the AWS CLI to download the corresponding video from the specified S3 bucket to the local path.
