I'm trying to copy a file from a private s3-bucket via cli to my ec2 instance. The ec2 is in the same region as the bucket and has the following IAM role attached (AmazonS3FullAccess):

{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
   {
     "Effect": "Allow",
     "Action": "s3:*",
     "Resource": "*"
   }
 ]
}

But the command aws s3 cp s3://[BUCKETNAME]/index.html fails with the error:

A client error (400) occurred when calling the HeadObject operation: Bad Request Completed 1 part(s) with ... file(s) remaining.

I already double checked the spelling of the bucket name...

I added the --region option to the statement and everything is working now:

aws s3 cp s3:/[BUCKETNAME]/ . --recursive --region [REGION]
