How do you upload a directory to S3?

[garrettmaring]

When attempting to upload a ByteStream created from a directory and invoke put_object with that body, the following error is returned:

INFO send_operation{operation="PutObject" service="s3" status="dispatch_failure" error from user's HttpBody stream: Is a directory (os error 21)}: smithy_http_tower::parse_response: close time.busy=192µs time.idle=1.06ms
Error: DispatchFailure(hyper::Error(User(Body), Os { code: 21, kind: Other, message: "Is a directory" }))

This is using the sample code https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-rust/blob/main/sdk/examples/s3-helloworld/src/main.rs modified for a directory body

    let body = ByteStream::from_path(Path::new("src/")).await?;
    let resp = client
        .put_object()
        .bucket(BUCKET)
        .key(KEY)
        .body(body)
        .send();

ByteStream::from_path only works from files. The SDK doesn't currently provide any direct utilities to upload directories—you'd need to iterate over the files and upload them individually.
