 | [s3cmd](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/donnemartin/data-science-ipython-notebooks/blob/master/aws/aws.ipynb#s3cmd) | Interacts with S3 through the command line. |
 | [s3distcp](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/donnemartin/data-science-ipython-notebooks/blob/master/aws/aws.ipynb#s3distcp) | Combines smaller files and aggregates them together by taking in a pattern and target file.  S3DistCp can also be used to transfer large volumes of data from S3 to your Hadoop cluster. |
 | [s3-parallel-put](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/donnemartin/data-science-ipython-notebooks/blob/master/aws/aws.ipynb#s3-parallel-put) | Uploads multiple files to S3 in parallel. |
