Create a blank prefix in S3 using PowerShell

[swordfish291]

Hello team

There is a way to create a blank prefix in S3 using cli but Write-S3Object cmdlet does not allow -Content to be blank. We can create a prefix but only if it contained an object and once that object gets deleted, the prefix get deleted along with it. Is there a way to create a blank prefix with PowerShell?

Thanks
Abdul

@swordfish291 Could you point me to this feature in AWS CLI which allows you to create blank prefix? Are you talking about simply to create a folder with the specified prefix? I do not think that's possible with AWS Tools for PowerShell. You may try something like below using AWS SDK for .NET:

string folderPath = "my-folder/sub-folder/";  
  
PutObjectRequest request = new PutObjectRequest()  
{  
    BucketName = _bucketName,  
    Key = folderPath // <-- in S3 key represents a path  
};  
  
PutObjectResponse response = client.PutObject(request); 

The above code could be easily translated to PowerShell code.

Thanks,
Ashish
