Aws-cli: aws s3 cp/mv --recursive incorrectly reports object as needing to be restored from glacier

Created on 15 Jan 2017  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: aws/aws-cli

I have a directory of files on S3 that was transitioned to glacier. The files were recently restored from Glacier and have not yet expired. I can copy individual files using "aws s3 cp". But, if I attempt to recursively copy the entire directory, the aws cli gives me the following error on all files:

```
warning: Skipping file s3://. Object is of storage class GLACIER. Unable to perform download operations on GLACIER objects. You must restore the object to be able to the perform operation.

$ aws --version
aws-cli/1.11.36 Python/2.6.6 Linux/2.6.32-504.8.1.el6.x86_64 botocore/1.4.93

$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.6 (Final)

$ aws s3 cp s3:/// /tmp --recursive

$ aws s3api head-object --bucket --key

Google led me here for the same error message. It would be nice if that option were suggested in the error message.

I needed to use --force-glacier-transfer.
