and I think I can use 

aws s3 sync . s3://s3bucket

But I'm not sure where to put the --delete

Also I want to run this command from time to time to push all new files in my local folders to s3 and deleting locally. I have few hundred thousand files to move almost ~400,000, how long will it take, each file is ~ 30kb-40kb

The --delete option does not do what you think it does. From the documentation:

--delete (boolean) Files that exist in the destination but not in the source are deleted during sync.

The mv option may be what you're looking for.

With regards to how long it will take, there's no way anyone but yourself can answer that question.

  • thanks @EEAA i did read the documentation and i was confused where to put the delete since i didn't want to do a sync exactly. I missed the mv command, which is exactly what I need. Thanks!
