title: AWS S3 Sync --force-glacier-transfer
body: <p>A few days back I was experimenting with S3 &amp; Glacier and my data was archived so restoring it back I had to use their expedited service (which costs a lot). I want to move all of my content from one bucket to another bucket in the same region same account.</p>
  <p>When I try to sync the data it gives the following error
  Completed 10.9 MiB/~10.9 MiB (30.0 KiB/s) with ~0 file(s) remaining (calculatingwarning: Skipping file s3://bucket/zzz0dllquplo1515993694.mp4. Object is of storage class GLACIER. Unable to perform copy operations on GLACIER objects. You must restore the object to be able to perform the operation. See aws s3 copy help for additional parameter options to ignore or force these transfers.</p>
  <p>I am using the below command and I was wondering what would it cost me in terms of dollars? Because all of my files storage class is changed to &quot;Glacier&quot; from &quot;Standard&quot;. So, I am forced to use --force-glacier-transfer flag</p>
  <pre><code>aws s3 sync s3://bucketname1 s3://bucketname2 --force-glacier-transfer --storage-class STANDARD
  </code></pre>
