I've installed s3cmd in my debian local machine using apt-get install s3cmd

@medbouzid -- using the debian sources you will get an outdated version. installing from source is preferred.

  1. Download the latest version of the s3cmd using this link 'https://sourceforge.net/projects/s3tools/?source=typ_redirect'
  2. unzip the folder using 'tar xvfz s3cmd-2.0.1.tar.gz'
  3. remove the zip folder using 'rm s3cmd-2.0.1.tar.gz'
  4. cd s3cmd-2.0.1 to the folder
  5. run 'sudo python setup.py install'

s4cmd seems to be a decent alternative:

pip install s4cmd
