Using AWS S3 web ui to copy a big folder from one to another and in the middle of copying, I got a pop up that your session has expired please refresh the page and task failed because of this.
What kind of security is this ? Can you check if any task is currently running.
Second who uses browser alert these days... wasted my one hour.

    Use the s3 CLI. The web UI isn't designed for large copies.

    @SortOfTested I can't argue with this, but I've found S3 browser* to be a great help, but I can't say I've ever had a need to do bucket to bucket transfers before.

    Use ec2 instances to do that. You will get best speed. Use 'screen' to run the command in background so that even if u close ssh connection to ec2 instance, you command will keep running.
    I use it when I have to move data comprises of multiple small files resulting in 20 gb to another bucket.

    That's hacky. Rsync will allow resuming connections and detaching.

    The AWS CLI handles all that with continuations as well, no need to copy it twice.

    @SortOfTested I am saying to use AWS cli only. But running behind screen will allow user to close ssh connection without terminating AWS cli sync command.
