Copy an Amazon S3 object using the AWS SDK for .NET multipart upload API

The following C# example shows how to use the AWS SDK for .NET to copy an Amazon S3 object that is larger than 5 GB from one source location to another, such as from one bucket to another. To copy objects that are smaller than 5 GB, use the single-operation copy procedure described in Copy an Amazon S3 Object in a Single Operation Using the AWS SDK for .NET. For more information about Amazon S3 multipart uploads, see Multipart upload overview.

This example shows how to copy an Amazon S3 object that is larger than 5 GB from one S3 bucket to another using the AWS SDK for .NET multipart upload API. For information about SDK compatibility and instructions for creating and testing a working sample, see Running the Amazon S3 .NET Code Examples.
