The following command downloads the object puppy.jpg for AWS account

my-access-point. You must include an outfile, which is a
file name for the downloaded object, such as
my_downloaded_image.jpg
aws s3api get-object --bucket arn:aws:s3:AWS Region:111122223333:accesspoint/my-access-point--key puppy.jpgmy_downloaded_image.jpg
Note
S3 automatically generate access point aliases for all access points and these aliases can be used anywhere a bucket name is used to perform object-level operations. For more information, see Access point for general purpose buckets aliases.
