amazon web services - How to change permission recursively to folder with AWS s3 or AWS s3api

Question

I am trying to grant permissions to an existing account in s3.

The bucket is owned by the account, but the data was copied from another account's bucket.

When I try to grant permissions with the command:

aws s3api put-object-acl --bucket <bucket_name> --key <folder_name> --profile <original_account_profile> --grant-full-control emailaddress=<destination_account_email>

I receive the error:

An error occurred (NoSuchKey) when calling the PutObjectAcl operation: The specified key does not exist.

while if I do it on a single file the command is successful.

How can I make it work for a full folder?

Answer 1

This can be only be achieved with using pipes. Try -

aws s3 ls s3://bucket/path/ --recursive | awk '{cmd="aws s3api put-object-acl --acl bucket-owner-full-control --bucket bucket --key "$4; system(cmd)}'
