Move an Object

Now that you've added an object to a bucket and viewed it, you might like to move the object to a different bucket or folder.

To move an object

  1. On the Amazon S3 tab in the AWS Management Console, right-click the object you want to move.

    [Tip]Tip

    You can use the SHIFT and CRTL keys to select multiple objects and perform the same action on them simultaneously.

  2. Click Cut.

  3. Navigate to the bucket (and folder) you want to move the object to, and right-click the folder or bucket you want to move the object to.

  4. Click Paste Into.

    Amazon S3 moves your files to the new location.

    You can monitor the progress of the move on the Transfers panel. To hide or show the Transfer panel, click the Transfers button at the top right of the console page.
