Is there a file size limit for Amazon S3?

Question

My bash script stopped working, the below line is giving an error:

aws s3 mv $source_file_path $target_path

and the file is more than 8 GB.

Answer 1

The maximum file size is 5 TB and the maximum size for a single 'Put' operation is 5GB which means that you won't be able to upload 8 Gb files with the single operation. So for this, you need to use multipart upload.
