Copy objects with different prefixes from AWS S3 bucket to local host will create folders locally?

Will aws s3 sync s3://myBucket/this_folder/object_file C:\UsersDesktop create also the "this_folder" in C:UsersDesktop? If not, what would be the solution to copy/sync including the folder structure of S3? I mean I have many files in different S3 bucket folders sorted by year, month, day. I would like to copy them locally with the folder structure/tree to be created locally as it is in the S3 bucket. Thank you.

    Use the aws cli with the --recursive argument.

    For example:

    aws s3 cp --recursive s3://your_bucket/your_folder_named_x path/to/your/destination

    Yes, it will. aws s3 sync is recursive by default.

    You may want to consider adding the --delete option to make sure that the local directory C:UsersDesktop does not have deprecated files that are no longer in the bucket.
