how to retrieve an entire bucket from another instance?

[nzimas]

I have managed to sync a local dir with an s3 bucket on an instance.
Now i want to retrieve the entire bucket from another instance.

Have tried s3sync.rb but, as anticipated, it did not fetch anything.

Is this the right set of tools for such task?

From your post I am confused about "s3 bucket on an instance".  If you tell me the commands you used and what failed I might be able to offer advice.

[nzimas]

From an instance is the proper phrasing

The scenario is quite simple.
From instance 1 i have synced a dir into a bucket.
Is there any tool i can use to retieve that contents of that bucket from another instance?

One instance of what??

[nzimas]

instance = ec2 instance

Oh.  Well s3sync doesn't need to know anything about where you are running it.  Just tell it the s3 source path and the target local path like in the README examples.

[nzimas]

I did so, but it did not retrieve the contents of the bucket

Then go back to what I said above.  Post the commands you are using for both operations.  Also use the -d option so I can see what it is thinking.

You are essentially saying "hi it does not work"; how can we help you without even seeing what you might be doing wrong?

This verbose is quite obvious. I am trying to FETCH the contents of a bucket that was synced from another ec2 instance into a new one.
The local folder is, therefore, empty. All i want is to retrieve what's inside that buckent to this new ec2 instance. This simple

The question remains. Is s3sync the right tool for the job?

Nuno.

Sure s3sync should work fine.

Can you show me the results of s3cmd.rb list c24h-vBkp20071122
