Chapter 6. Uploading files to available Amazon S3 buckets using notebook cells

You can upload files from your notebook server to an Amazon S3 bucket by using the upload_file method.

Prerequisites

Configure an Amazon S3 client in a previous cell in the notebook. See Creating an Amazon S3 client using notebook cells for more information.

Procedure

Define the following details in a notebook cell:
1. The name of the file to upload. This must include the full local path to the file. Replace <name_of_the_file_to_upload> with your own value.
```
file_name = '<name_of_the_file_to_upload>'
```
2. The name of the bucket to upload the file to. Replace <name_of_the_bucket> with your own value.
```
bucket_name = '<name_of_the_bucket>'
```
3. The full key to use to save the file to the bucket. Replace <full_path_and_file_name> with your own value.
```
key = '<full_path_and_file_name>'
```
Upload the file, specifying the previous variables as arguments.
```
s3_client.upload_file(file_name, bucket_name, key)
```
