Refinitiv Data Platform - CFS - S3 native download

We are using CFS via the Refinitiv Data Platform to download a custom Tick History extraction. We can access the files through api.refinitiv.com and providing the token as a header, as in the [Python examples](https://github.com/Refinitiv-API-Samples/Article.RDP.Python.IntroToCFS/blob/main/CFSIntro.ipynb).


However we wish to download the files natively in AWS, so that we can transfer them directly to our own S3 bucket without going out to the web. E.g. `aws s3 cp s3://refinitiv-bucket/.../file.csv.gz s3://our-bucket/file.csv.gz`


The file API exposes the url for each file, such as

`https://s3-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/a.../..../normalised/..../data/merged/merged-Report.csv.gz`

Can we access this file directly in AWS?

    I got the response from the product team that the direct access to the file in the bucket is not allowed.

    Howover, you can contact the helpdesk team directly via MyRefinitiv to confirm this.
