# Recursively Download from a Shadow Bucket

I have a shadow bucket setup that we are using to mirror objects from S3. I need to download all objects under a specific prefix but I get a 404 unless I download a specific object. Is it possible to do this with a shadow bucket?

This is a great ask, but unfortunately, it’s not currently supported. I’ll have a feature request for this on our side. To unblock for now, one option is to perform a `list` on that prefix from s3 and then perform `get` so that automatically migrated to Tigris.

Thanks for the response. Listing does not seem to show objects other than those that have already been copied into tigris with an explicit `cp`. Could you show an example of this working?

Currently, it is only supported for the shadow buckets that are configured in “Write Through” mode where `list` results are fetched from the shadow source. Otherwise, you’re right. The results are returned from Tigris.

I was suggesting if you explicitly perform `list` on s3 and then, based on the results you get from s3, you perform `get` on Tigris. This will trigger the migration of these objects to Tigris.

Let me know if this helps; happy to help you more on the migration. If you want, you can also reach out to us directly at [help@tigrisdata.com](mailto:help@tigrisdata.com).
