How to count files in an S3 bucket
Raw
s3count.md

Counting files in S3 buckets and folders is harder than it should be. But here's a way to get it done using s3cmd:

  1. Install S3cmd
  • On Mac, brew install s3cmd
  • On Windows, go here

  1. From the command line, run s3cmd --configure

  2. Add your credentials when prompted.

  3. Once it's all set up and working, run: s3cmd ls --recursive s3://BUCKET_NAME/FOLDER_NAME | wc -l
