I recently wanted to copy some large files from an AWS instance into an S3 bucket using s3cmd but ended up with the following error when trying to use the ‘put’ command:
$ s3cmd put /mnt/ebs/myfile.tar s3://mybucket.somewhere.com
/mnt/ebs/myfile.tar -> s3://mybucket.somewhere.com/myfile.tar [1 of 1]

ERROR: Upload of '/mnt/ebs/myfile.tar' failed too many times. Skipping that file. |
I tried with a smaller file just to make sure I wasn’t doing anything stupid syntax wise and that transferred without a problem which lead me to believe the problem might be when uploading larger files – the one I was uploading was around ~10GB in size.
I eventually came across this StackOverflow thread which suggested that files >5GB in size need to make use of the ‘multi part method’ which was released in version 1.1.0 of s3cmd.
The Ubuntu repository comes with version 1.0.0 so I needed to find a way of getting a newer version onto the machine.
I eventually ended up downloading version 1.5.0 from sourceforge but I couldn’t get a direct URI to download it so I ended up downloading it to my machine, uploading to the S3 bucket through the web UI and then pulling it back down again using a ‘s3cmd get’. #epic
In retrospect the s3cmd PPA might have been a better option.
Anyway, when I used this s3cmd it uploaded using multi part fine:
... /mnt/ebs/myfile.tar -> s3://mybucket.somewhere.com/myfile.tar [part 761 of 775, 15MB] 15728640 of 15728640 100% in 3s 4.12 MB/s done /mnt/ebs/myfile.tar -> s3://mybucket.somewhere.com/myfile.tar [part 762 of 775, 15MB] ... |
