I'm trying to transfer buckets between Amazon s3 accounts. I see there is s3cmd for unix and CloudBerry Explorer for Windows. I have tested both, but im not sure if the transfer (both accounts in same region) are server side or client side? Can this be done server side?

S3cmd

Cloudberry explorer

From this question: Best way to move files between S3 buckets?

I am also checking this: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/CopyingObjectUsingRuby.html, i like ruby :)

Edit: Also in the CloudBerry Explorer, i have checked the server side transfer option, and i am using sync option, BUT i am still not sure if this is entirely client side.

Yes, if these tools are using the PUT - Copy method the file duplication is done entirely on the server-side.

You can read-up on the details in the API docs.

  • I see, it just takes a lot of time for several files, i think it has to check file by file. Thanks. – damuz91 Jun 28 '13 at 21:44
