when deleting files [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer

[cwjjun]

When I use the command ‘s3cmd rm --recursive’ to delete a large number of sub-files under a folder, the following problem occurs.

S3cmd: 2.3.0
python: 2.7.16 (default, Oct 10 2019, 22:02:15)
[GCC 8.3.0]
environment LANG=zh_CN

Is this repeatable? Do you need to use Python 2.7.16?

This is transient error, it means the server closed the connection. Cloud for many reasons (very slow connection, connection interruption, etc).

it has nothing to do with s3cmd and s3cmd can't do anything about it, the connection instantly stopped.
