Copy objects within a bucket or between buckets in the same region.
Notes
-
In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. To access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region, use an internal endpoint. For details about supported regions and endpoints, see Regions and Endpoints.
-
In this topic, access credentials are obtained from environment variables. For more information, see Configure access credentials.
-
This topic demonstrates creating an OSSClient instance with an OSS endpoint. For alternative configurations, such as using a custom domain or authenticating with credentials from Security Token Service (STS), see Client configuration.
-
You must have read permissions on the source object and read/write permissions on the destination bucket.
-
The source and destination buckets must not have retention policies configured. Otherwise, the copy fails and the error The object you specified is immutable. is returned.
-
Cross-region copy is not supported. For example, you cannot copy an object from a China (Hangzhou) bucket to a China (Qingdao) bucket.
Copy a small object
Use ossClient.copyObject to copy objects smaller than 1 GB. This method accepts parameters in two ways:
|
Specifying parameters |
Description |
|
CopyObjectResult copyObject(String sourceBucketName, String sourceKey, String destinationBucketName, String destinationKey) |
Specifies source and destination buckets and objects. Copies content and metadata from the source object (simple copy). |
|
CopyObjectResult copyObject(CopyObjectRequest copyObjectRequest) |
Specifies metadata and copy conditions for the destination object. If the source and destination are the same object, replaces the source metadata. |

Copy large objects
For objects larger than 1 GB, use multipart copy (UploadPartCopy). The process has three steps:
-
Initialize a multipart copy task with ossClient.initiateMultipartUpload.
-
Copy each part with ossClient.uploadPartCopy. All parts except the last must be larger than 100 KB.
-
Complete the multipart copy task with ossClient.completeMultipartUpload.
The following example uses multipart copy to copy srcexampleobject.txt from srcexamplebucket to desexampleobject.txt in desexamplebucket.
