# The Following Arguments are Required - Paths Error [Solved]
The reason the "Following Arguments are Required - Paths" error occurs in AWS
CLI is when the paths argument is not provided to the aws s3 cp command.
To solve the "Following Arguments are Required - Paths" error, set the path
argument in the call to aws s3 cp.
To copy local files to an S3 bucket use the following syntax.
shell
aws s3 cp my-file.txt s3://my-bucket/my-file.txt
When copying an S3 object to a local file, use the following syntax.
shell
aws s3 cp s3://bucket-name/my-file.txt my-file.txt
When copying an S3 object from one bucket to another use the following syntax.
shell
aws s3 cp s3://source-bucket/file.ext s3://destination-bucket/file.ext
For more examples on the aws s3 cp command, check out the examples section of
the
docs.
When using the
aws s3 cp command keep in mind that the CLI expects a source and a destination, so a total of 2 paths should be provided.# Further Reading
