title: Copy files from S3 onto EC2 instance using Boto3 (script running on local server)?
body: <p>I'm running a python script, using Boto3 (first time using boto/3), on my local server which monitors S3 bucket for new files.  When it detects new files in the bucket, it starts a stopped EC2 instance, which has software loaded onto it to process these said files, and then needs to somehow instruct S3/EC2 to copy the new files from S3 to EC2.  How can I achieve that using Boto3 script which is running on my local server ?</p>
  
  <p>Essentially, the script running locally is the orchestrator of the process and needs to start the instance when there are new files to process and have them processed on the EC2 instance and copy the processed files back to S3.  I'm currently stuck at trying to figure how to get the files copied over to EC2 from S3 by the script running locally.  I'd like to avoid having to download from S3 to local server and then upload to EC2.</p>
  
  <p>Suggestions/ideas ?</p>
