See this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1939743/amazon-s3-boto-how-to-create-a-folder

There is no concept of folders or directories in S3. You can create file names like "abc/xys/uvw/123.jpg", which many S3 access tools like S3Fox show like a directory structure, but it's actually just a single file in a bucket.

I am trying to use another way of moving a file by downloading it first but I got this error message. Code snippet:

   objectName = "crewdocs" & "" & fleetName & "" & crew_directory_name & "" & Replace(fileName," ()","")
   localFilePath = "D:crewdocs"
   success = http.S3_DownloadFile(bucketName,objectName,localFilePath)

Error message:
