title: Aws S3 CLI entire folder download to local
body: <p>Is there a aws cli command that allows to download an entire folder from s3  to local machine, instead of creating a folder locally.</p>
  <p>For example , when i run the following command</p>
  <pre><code>aws cp s3 s3://&lt;MY-BUCKET&gt;/folder1 . --recursive
  </code></pre>
  <p>I expect the &quot;folder1&quot; to downloaded to my local machine along with its contents.</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
