Transferring an AWS s3 bucket from one account to another?
Hello all,
I just started with a company and we are in process of getting started with AWS. The previous administrator was learning AWS and getting the ball rolling and uploaded a ton of things, but uploaded everythnig to an account that uses his name. I have administrative access to both the old AWS account and a new company one we created. How can I take all the data from S3 buckets and move them over without having to download everything to my pc (it is a few TB of data) and then reuploading it? I tried to go in to the old AWS buckets permissions and tried to see if I could add the new AWS accounts number to it, but it said "Invalid ID".
Any ideas?
Thanks!

It does use a new name and credentials for the top level account. I can make any new accounts under either if need be. I am going to look into the link that @Phil Phillips posted and see if that works out for me and then report back.
Thanks!

Ok, great. I was able to get it working. Thanks again.
Is there a way to make multiple ones go right after another?
Example :
aws s3 sync s3://bucketA1 s3://bucketA2, aws s3 sync s3://bucketB1 s3://bucketB2, aws s3 sync s3://bucketC1 s3://bucketC2?

If your new and shiny corporate account still has a small amount of resources, do that.
