S3 Storage

Amazon S3

The robomotion amazons3 CLI connects to Amazon S3 for object storage operations. It uploads, downloads, lists, copies, and deletes objects; manages buckets; generates presigned URLs; and handles file operations across S3 buckets.

When to use

• Upload or download files between local filesystem and S3
• List, copy, or delete objects in S3 buckets
• Create or manage S3 buckets
• Generate presigned URLs for temporary access

Prerequisites

• robomotion CLI installed
• Package installed: robomotion install amazons3
• AWS access key and secret key configured via Robomotion vault

IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations

Each CLI command runs as a separate process — connection IDs from connect do NOT persist across calls. You MUST use --session on connect and pass --session-id to all subsequent commands.

Workflow

1. Install (once): robomotion install amazons3
2. Connect with session:

   robomotion amazons3 connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   

3. Use the returned client-id and session-id in all subsequent commands:

   robomotion amazons3 upload_file --client-id "<client-id>" --bucket <bucket> --key <key> --file-path <file> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

4. Disconnect when done:

   robomotion amazons3 disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

Always append --output json to get structured JSON results.
