CopyObjectRequest Class | AWS SDK for .NET V3

Container for the parameters to the CopyObject operation. Creates a copy of an object that is already stored in Amazon S3.

You can store individual objects of up to 5 TB in Amazon S3. You create a copy of your object up to 5 GB in size in a single atomic action using this API. However, to copy an object greater than 5 GB, you must use the multipart upload Upload Part - Copy (UploadPartCopy) API. For more information, see Copy Object Using the REST Multipart Upload API.

You can copy individual objects between general purpose buckets, between directory buckets, and between general purpose buckets and directory buckets.

Directory buckets - For directory buckets, you must make requests for this API operation to the Zonal endpoint. These endpoints support virtual-hosted-style requests in the format https://bucket_name.s3express-az_id.region.amazonaws.com/key-name. Path-style requests are not supported. For more information, see Regional and Zonal endpoints in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

Both the Region that you want to copy the object from and the Region that you want to copy the object to must be enabled for your account.

Amazon S3 transfer acceleration does not support cross-Region copies. If you request a cross-Region copy using a transfer acceleration endpoint, you get a 400 Bad Request error. For more information, see Transfer Acceleration.

Authentication and authorization

All CopyObject requests must be authenticated and signed by using IAM credentials (access key ID and secret access key for the IAM identities). All headers with the x-amz- prefix, including x-amz-copy-source, must be signed. For more information, see REST Authentication.

Directory buckets - You must use the IAM credentials to authenticate and authorize your access to the CopyObject API operation, instead of using the temporary security credentials through the CreateSession API operation.

Amazon Web Services CLI or SDKs handles authentication and authorization on your behalf.

Permissions

You must have read access to the source object and write access to the destination bucket.

General purpose bucket permissions - You must have permissions in an IAM policy based on the source and destination bucket types in a CopyObject operation.
- If the source object is in a general purpose bucket, you must have s3:GetObject permission to read the source object that is being copied.
- If the destination bucket is a general purpose bucket, you must have s3:PutObject permission to write the object copy to the destination bucket.
Directory bucket permissions - You must have permissions in a bucket policy or an IAM identity-based policy based on the source and destination bucket types in a CopyObject operation.
- If the source object that you want to copy is in a directory bucket, you must have the s3express:CreateSession permission in the Action element of a policy to read the object. By default, the session is in the ReadWrite mode. If you want to restrict the access, you can explicitly set the s3express:SessionMode condition key to ReadOnly on the copy source bucket.
- If the copy destination is a directory bucket, you must have the s3express:CreateSession permission in the Action element of a policy to write the object to the destination. The s3express:SessionMode condition key can't be set to ReadOnly on the copy destination bucket.
For example policies, see Example bucket policies for S3 Express One Zone and Amazon Web Services Identity and Access Management (IAM) identity-based policies for S3 Express One Zone in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

Response and special errors

When the request is an HTTP 1.1 request, the response is chunk encoded. When the request is not an HTTP 1.1 request, the response would not contain the Content-Length. You always need to read the entire response body to check if the copy succeeds. to keep the connection alive while we copy the data.

If the copy is successful, you receive a response with information about the copied object.
A copy request might return an error when Amazon S3 receives the copy request or while Amazon S3 is copying the files. A 200 OK response can contain either a success or an error.
- If the error occurs before the copy action starts, you receive a standard Amazon S3 error.
- If the error occurs during the copy operation, the error response is embedded in the 200 OK response. For example, in a cross-region copy, you may encounter throttling and receive a 200 OK response. For more information, see Resolve the Error 200 response when copying objects to Amazon S3. The 200 OK status code means the copy was accepted, but it doesn't mean the copy is complete. Another example is when you disconnect from Amazon S3 before the copy is complete, Amazon S3 might cancel the copy and you may receive a 200 OK response. You must stay connected to Amazon S3 until the entire response is successfully received and processed.
  If you call this API operation directly, make sure to design your application to parse the content of the response and handle it appropriately. If you use Amazon Web Services SDKs, SDKs handle this condition. The SDKs detect the embedded error and apply error handling per your configuration settings (including automatically retrying the request as appropriate). If the condition persists, the SDKs throw an exception (or, for the SDKs that don't use exceptions, they return an error).

Charge

The copy request charge is based on the storage class and Region that you specify for the destination object. The request can also result in a data retrieval charge for the source if the source storage class bills for data retrieval. If the copy source is in a different region, the data transfer is billed to the copy source account. For pricing information, see Amazon S3 pricing.

The CopyObjectRequest type exposes the following members

Constructors

	Name	Description
	CopyObjectRequest()

Properties

Name	Type	Description
BucketKeyEnabled	System.Boolean	Gets and sets the property BucketKeyEnabled. Specifies whether Amazon S3 should use an S3 Bucket Key for object encryption with server-side encryption using AWS KMS (SSE-KMS). Setting this header to `true` causes Amazon S3 to use an S3 Bucket Key for object encryption with SSE-KMS. Specifying this header with a COPY action doesn't affect bucket-level settings for S3 Bucket Key. For more information, see Amazon S3 Bucket Keys in the Amazon S3 User Guide. Directory buckets - S3 Bucket Keys aren't supported, when you copy SSE-KMS encrypted objects from general purpose buckets to directory buckets, from directory buckets to general purpose buckets, or between directory buckets, through CopyObject. In this case, Amazon S3 makes a call to KMS every time a copy request is made for a KMS-encrypted object.
CannedACL	Amazon.S3.S3CannedACL	A canned access control list (CACL) to apply to the object. Please refer to Amazon.S3.S3CannedACL for information on S3 Canned ACLs. This action is not supported by Amazon S3 on Outposts.
ChecksumAlgorithm	Amazon.S3.ChecksumAlgorithm	Gets and sets the property ChecksumAlgorithm. Indicates the algorithm you want Amazon S3 to use to create the checksum for the object. For more information, see Checking object integrity in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
ContentType	System.String	This is a convenience property for Headers.ContentType.
CopySourceServerSideEncryptionCustomerMethod	Amazon.S3.ServerSideEncryptionCustomerMethod	The Server-side encryption algorithm to be used with the customer provided key.
CopySourceServerSideEncryptionCustomerProvidedKey	System.String	The customer provided encryption key for the source object of the copy. Important: Amazon S3 does not store the encryption key you provide.
CopySourceServerSideEncryptionCustomerProvidedKeyMD5	System.String	The MD5 of the customer encryption key specified in the CopySourceServerSideEncryptionCustomerProvidedKey property. The MD5 is base 64 encoded. This field is optional, the SDK will calculate the MD5 if this is not set.
DestinationBucket	System.String	Gets and sets the property DestinationBucket. The name of the destination bucket. Directory buckets - When you use this operation with a directory bucket, you must use virtual-hosted-style requests in the format `Bucket_name.s3express-az_id.region.amazonaws.com`. Path-style requests are not supported. Directory bucket names must be unique in the chosen Availability Zone. Bucket names must follow the format `bucket_base_name--az-id--x-s3` (for example, `DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET--usw2-az1--x-s3`). For information about bucket naming restrictions, see Directory bucket naming rules in the Amazon S3 User Guide. Access points - When you use this action with an access point, you must provide the alias of the access point in place of the bucket name or specify the access point ARN. When using the access point ARN, you must direct requests to the access point hostname. The access point hostname takes the form AccessPointName-AccountId.s3-accesspoint.Region.amazonaws.com. When using this action with an access point through the Amazon Web Services SDKs, you provide the access point ARN in place of the bucket name. For more information about access point ARNs, see Using access points in the Amazon S3 User Guide. Access points and Object Lambda access points are not supported by directory buckets. S3 on Outposts - When you use this action with Amazon S3 on Outposts, you must direct requests to the S3 on Outposts hostname. The S3 on Outposts hostname takes the form `AccessPointName-AccountId.outpostID.s3-outposts.Region.amazonaws.com`. When you use this action with S3 on Outposts through the Amazon Web Services SDKs, you provide the Outposts access point ARN in place of the bucket name. For more information about S3 on Outposts ARNs, see What is S3 on Outposts? in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
DestinationKey	System.String	The key to be given to the copy of the source object.
DisableTrimmingLeadingSlash	System.Boolean	If this is set to true then the Amazon S3 client will not remove leading slashes from Amazon.S3.Model.CopyObjectRequest.SourceKey and Amazon.S3.Model.CopyObjectRequest.DestinationKey. The default value is false.
ETagToMatch	System.String	ETag to be matched as a pre-condition for copying the source object otherwise returns a PreconditionFailed.
ETagToNotMatch	System.String	ETag that must not be matched as a pre-condition for copying the source object, otherwise returns a PreconditionFailed.
ExpectedBucketOwner	System.String	Gets and sets the property ExpectedBucketOwner. The account ID of the expected destination bucket owner. If the destination bucket is owned by a different account, the request will fail with an HTTP `403 (Access Denied)` error.
ExpectedSourceBucketOwner	System.String	Gets and sets the property ExpectedSourceBucketOwner. The account ID of the expected source bucket owner. If the source bucket is owned by a different account, the request will fail with an HTTP `403 (Access Denied)` error.
Grants	System.Collections.Generic.List<Amazon.S3.Model.S3Grant>	Inherited from Amazon.S3.Model.PutWithACLRequest.
Headers	Amazon.S3.Model.HeadersCollection	The collection of headers for the request.
Metadata	Amazon.S3.Model.MetadataCollection	The collection of meta data for the request.
MetadataDirective	Amazon.S3.S3MetadataDirective	Specifies whether the metadata is copied from the source object or replaced with metadata provided in the request.
ModifiedSinceDate	System.DateTime	This property is deprecated. Setting this property results in non-UTC DateTimes not being marshalled correctly. Use ModifiedSinceDateUtc instead. Setting either ModifiedSinceDate or ModifiedSinceDateUtc results in both ModifiedSinceDate and ModifiedSinceDateUtc being assigned, the latest assignment to either one of the two property is reflected in the value of both. ModifiedSinceDate is provided for backwards compatibility only and assigning a non-Utc DateTime to it results in the wrong timestamp being passed to the service. Copies the object if it has been modified since the specified time, otherwise returns a PreconditionFailed.
ModifiedSinceDateUtc	System.DateTime	Copies the object if it has been modified since the specified time, otherwise returns a PreconditionFailed.
ObjectLockLegalHoldStatus	Amazon.S3.ObjectLockLegalHoldStatus	Gets and sets the property ObjectLockLegalHoldStatus. Specifies whether you want to apply a Legal Hold to the copied object.
ObjectLockMode	Amazon.S3.ObjectLockMode	Gets and sets the property ObjectLockMode. The Object Lock mode that you want to apply to the copied object.
ObjectLockRetainUntilDate	System.DateTime	Gets and sets the property ObjectLockRetainUntilDate. The date and time when you want the copied object's Object Lock to expire.
ReadWriteTimeout	System.Nullable<System.TimeSpan>	Overrides the default ReadWriteTimeout value.
RequestPayer	Amazon.S3.RequestPayer	Confirms that the requester knows that she or he will be charged for the request. Bucket owners need not specify this parameter in their requests.
ServerSideEncryptionCustomerMethod	Amazon.S3.ServerSideEncryptionCustomerMethod	The Server-side encryption algorithm to be used with the customer provided key.
ServerSideEncryptionCustomerProvidedKey	System.String	The base64-encoded encryption key for Amazon S3 to use to encrypt the object Using the encryption key you provide as part of your request Amazon S3 manages both the encryption, as it writes to disks, and decryption, when you access your objects. Therefore, you don't need to maintain any data encryption code. The only thing you do is manage the encryption keys you provide. /// When you retrieve an object, you must provide the same encryption key as part of your request. Amazon S3 first verifies the encryption key you provided matches, and then decrypts the object before returning the object data to you. Important: Amazon S3 does not store the encryption key you provide.
ServerSideEncryptionCustomerProvidedKeyMD5	System.String	The MD5 of the customer encryption key specified in the ServerSideEncryptionCustomerProvidedKey property. The MD5 is base 64 encoded. This field is optional, the SDK will calculate the MD5 if this is not set.
ServerSideEncryptionKeyManagementServiceEncryptionContext	System.String	Gets and sets the property ServerSideEncryptionKeyManagementServiceEncryptionContext. Specifies the Amazon Web Services KMS Encryption Context as an additional encryption context to use for the destination object encryption. The value of this header is a base64-encoded UTF-8 string holding JSON with the encryption context key-value pairs. General purpose buckets - This value must be explicitly added to specify encryption context for `CopyObject` requests if you want an additional encryption context for your destination object. The additional encryption context of the source object won't be copied to the destination object. For more information, see Encryption context in the Amazon S3 User Guide. Directory buckets - You can optionally provide an explicit encryption context value. The value must match the default encryption context - the bucket Amazon Resource Name (ARN). An additional encryption context value is not supported.
ServerSideEncryptionKeyManagementServiceKeyId	System.String	Gets and sets the property SSEKMSKeyId. Specifies the KMS key ID (Key ID, Key ARN, or Key Alias) to use for object encryption. All GET and PUT requests for an object protected by KMS will fail if they're not made via SSL or using SigV4. For information about configuring any of the officially supported Amazon Web Services SDKs and Amazon Web Services CLI, see Specifying the Signature Version in Request Authentication in the Amazon S3 User Guide. Directory buckets - If you specify `x-amz-server-side-encryption` with `aws:kms`, you must specify the `x-amz-server-side-encryption-aws-kms-key-id` header with the ID (Key ID or Key ARN) of the KMS symmetric encryption customer managed key to use. Otherwise, you get an HTTP `400 Bad Request` error. Only use the key ID or key ARN. The key alias format of the KMS key isn't supported. Your SSE-KMS configuration can only support 1 customer managed key per directory bucket for the lifetime of the bucket. Amazon Web Services managed key (`aws/s3`) isn't supported.
ServerSideEncryptionMethod	Amazon.S3.ServerSideEncryptionMethod	The server-side encryption algorithm used when storing this object in Amazon S3. Unrecognized or unsupported values won't write a destination object and will receive a `400 Bad Request` response. Amazon S3 automatically encrypts all new objects that are copied to an S3 bucket. When copying an object, if you don't specify encryption information in your copy request, the encryption setting of the target object is set to the default encryption configuration of the destination bucket. By default, all buckets have a base level of encryption configuration that uses server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed keys (SSE-S3). If the destination bucket has a different default encryption configuration, Amazon S3 uses the corresponding encryption key to encrypt the target object copy. With server-side encryption, Amazon S3 encrypts your data as it writes your data to disks in its data centers and decrypts the data when you access it. For more information about server-side encryption, see Using Server-Side Encryption in the Amazon S3 User Guide. General purpose buckets For general purpose buckets, there are the following supported options for server-side encryption: server-side encryption with Key Management Service (KMS) keys (SSE-KMS), dual-layer server-side encryption with Amazon Web Services KMS keys (DSSE-KMS), and server-side encryption with customer-provided encryption keys (SSE-C). Amazon S3 uses the corresponding KMS key, or a customer-provided key to encrypt the target object copy. When you perform a `CopyObject` operation, if you want to use a different type of encryption setting for the target object, you can specify appropriate encryption-related headers to encrypt the target object with an Amazon S3 managed key, a KMS key, or a customer-provided key. If the encryption setting in your request is different from the default encryption configuration of the destination bucket, the encryption setting in your request takes precedence. Directory buckets For directory buckets, there are only two supported options for server-side encryption: server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed keys (SSE-S3) (`AES256`) and server-side encryption with KMS keys (SSE-KMS) (`aws:kms`). We recommend that the bucket's default encryption uses the desired encryption configuration and you don't override the bucket default encryption in your `CreateSession` requests or `PUT` object requests. Then, new objects are automatically encrypted with the desired encryption settings. For more information, see Protecting data with server-side encryption in the Amazon S3 User Guide. For more information about the encryption overriding behaviors in directory buckets, see Specifying server-side encryption with KMS for new object uploads. To encrypt new object copies to a directory bucket with SSE-KMS, we recommend you specify SSE-KMS as the directory bucket's default encryption configuration with a KMS key (specifically, a customer managed key). Amazon Web Services managed key (`aws/s3`) isn't supported. Your SSE-KMS configuration can only support 1 customer managed key per directory bucket for the lifetime of the bucket. After you specify a customer managed key for SSE-KMS, you can't override the customer managed key for the bucket's SSE-KMS configuration. Then, when you perform a `CopyObject` operation and want to specify server-side encryption settings for new object copies with SSE-KMS in the encryption-related request headers, you must ensure the encryption key is the same customer managed key that you specified for the directory bucket's default encryption configuration.
SourceBucket	System.String	The name of the bucket containing the object to copy.
SourceKey	System.String	The key of the object to copy.
SourceVersionId	System.String	Specifies a particular version of the source object to copy. By default the latest version is copied.
StorageClass	Amazon.S3.S3StorageClass	Gets and sets the property StorageClass. By default, Amazon S3 uses the STANDARD Storage Class to store newly created objects. The STANDARD storage class provides high durability and high availability. Depending on performance needs, you can specify a different Storage Class. Amazon S3 on Outposts only uses the OUTPOSTS Storage Class. For more information, see Storage Classes in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
TagSet	System.Collections.Generic.List<Amazon.S3.Model.Tag>	The tag-set for the object destination object this value must be used in conjunction with the TaggingDirective. The tag-set must be encoded as URL Query parameters.
Timeout	System.Nullable<System.TimeSpan>	Overrides the default request timeout value.
UnmodifiedSinceDate	System.DateTime	This property is deprecated. Setting this property results in non-UTC DateTimes not being marshalled correctly. Use UnmodifiedSinceDateUtc instead. Setting either UnmodifiedSinceDate or UnmodifiedSinceDateUtc results in both UnmodifiedSinceDate and UnmodifiedSinceDateUtc being assigned, the latest assignment to either one of the two property is reflected in the value of both. UnmodifiedSinceDate is provided for backwards compatibility only and assigning a non-Utc DateTime to it results in the wrong timestamp being passed to the service. Copies the object if it has not been modified since the specified time, otherwise returns a PreconditionFailed.
UnmodifiedSinceDateUtc	System.DateTime	Copies the object if it has not been modified since the specified time, otherwise returns a PreconditionFailed.
WebsiteRedirectLocation	System.String	If the bucket is configured as a website, redirects requests for this object to another object in the same bucket or to an external URL. Amazon S3 stores the value of this header in the object metadata. This value is unique to each object and is not copied when using the `x-amz-metadata-directive` header. Instead, you may opt to provide this header in combination with the directive.

Examples
