s5cmd is a very fast parallel command-line tool for executing S3 and local filesystem operations such as upload, download, copy, move, and delete at high throughput. It supports wildcards, batch command files, S3-compatible services like Google Cloud Storage, and significantly outperforms aws-cli and s3cmd.

Use cases

  • transfer large numbers of files to and from s3 at maximum speed
  • bulk upload or download objects from s3 from the command line
  • saturate a high-bandwidth link when moving data to object storage
  • batch copy and delete s3 objects with wildcards
  • run s3 operations against s3-compatible storage like google cloud storage
  • replace aws cli s3 commands with a much faster alternative

When to choose

  • you need maximum throughput for bulk S3 transfers
  • you work with very large numbers of objects and want wildcard and batch support
  • you use S3-compatible object storage services beyond AWS

When to avoid

  • you need a full-featured AWS CLI for non-storage services
  • you prefer a GUI or interactive sync tool like rclone's mounting features
