Once I'm here I'm going to create these files. Now I'm going to do them kind of in a cheating way, I'm going to echo out some data into a file and I'm going to call it lil1.txt, and I'm going to do the same thing to create file two.

It will take a local file or a file from one bucket and copy it to an S3 bucket or back into your local file system depending on the order in which you execute these operations.
