s3cmd Exclude Folder When Upload

When using s3cmd to sync or upload files to an S3 bucket, you can exclude specific files or folders using the --exclude option. This allows you to selectively upload content while excluding certain directories or files from being transferred.

Syntax for Excluding a Folder

To exclude a folder (or multiple folders) during the synchronization or upload process with s3cmd, follow this syntax:

s3cmd sync /path/to/local/folder s3://your-bucket-name/path/in/s3 --exclude "folder_name/*"

Example

For instance, if you have a local folder named myfolder and you want to exclude a subfolder named excluded_folder when uploading to an S3 bucket named my-bucket, you can use:

s3cmd sync myfolder s3://my-bucket/ --exclude "excluded_folder/*"

This command ensures that the contents of excluded_folder within myfolder are not uploaded to my-bucket.

Additional Notes

By leveraging the --exclude option in s3cmd, you can tailor your uploads to S3 to exclude specific folders or files as needed, ensuring flexibility and control over your synchronization operations. Adjust commands and options based on your specific requirements and environment.
