💡 Tip: This URL may require authentication. Use presigned URLs for temporary access.

Advanced Features

Presigned URLs

Generate temporary access URLs (default: 1 hour):

generate-presigned-url videos/2026/march/my-video.mp4

# Custom expiration (e.g., 24 hours)
generate-presigned-url videos/2026/march/my-video.mp4 --expires 24h

List uploaded videos

# List recent uploads
list-s3-uploads

# List from specific bucket
list-s3-uploads --bucket my-bucket

# List with details
list-s3-uploads --detailed

Delete files from S3

# Delete a file
delete-from-s3 videos/old-video.mp4

# Delete with confirmation
delete-from-s3 videos/old-video.mp4 --confirm

Environment Variables

• YOUTUBE_S3_CONFIG: Path to config file (default: ~/.youtube-s3-uploader.yml)
• YOUTUBE_S3_DEFAULT_BUCKET: Override default bucket
• YOUTUBE_S3_KEEP_LOCAL: Keep local files (default: false)
• YOUTUBE_S3_DEBUG: Enable debug logging

Security Best Practices

1. Use IAM roles when possible instead of long-term credentials
2. Set short expiration for presigned URLs (minutes, not days)
3. Enable bucket versioning for accidental deletion protection
4. Configure lifecycle rules to automatically delete old files
5. Use bucket policies to restrict access by IP or referrer

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "Invalid credentials": Check your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key
2. "Bucket does not exist": Create the bucket in your S3 provider's dashboard
3. "Access denied": Verify bucket policies and IAM permissions
4. "SSL certificate error": For self-signed certificates, use HTTP or add certificate exception
5. "Upload timeout": Large files may need multipart upload - use the fixed version
6. "Memory overflow": Use the fixed version with chunked reading
7. "Large file upload fails": Use youtube-to-s3-fixed.js for files >50MB

Fixed Version for Large Files

For large video files (>50MB), use the fixed version that implements S3 Multipart Upload:

# Using npm script
npm run youtube-to-s3-fixed -- https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID

# Direct script execution
node scripts/youtube-to-s3-fixed.js https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID

# Upload existing large file
node scripts/fixed-upload-video-to-s3.js /path/to/large-video.mp4

The fixed version:

• Uses S3 Multipart Upload for files >50MB
• Implements chunked reading to avoid memory overflow
• Includes retry mechanism for failed uploads
• Shows real-time progress and speed
• Automatically selects best method based on file size
