You can use the AWS CLI (Command Line Interface) to transfer folders from S3 to a Jenkins pipeline. Here are the steps:

1. Install the AWS CLI on the Jenkins server (if not already installed).

2. Configure the AWS CLI with your AWS credentials by running the following command and following the prompts:

aws configure

1. In your Jenkins pipeline code, use the sh step to run AWS CLI commands. For example, to copy a folder from an S3 bucket to the Jenkins workspace folder, you can use the following command:

sh 'aws s3 cp s3://my-bucket/my-folder . --recursive'

This will download the entire contents of the "my-folder" folder from the "my-bucket" S3 bucket to the current folder in the Jenkins workspace.

1. You can then use Jenkins pipeline steps (such as the dir step) to navigate to the downloaded folder and perform any necessary tasks.

Note: Make sure that the Jenkins server has the necessary permissions to access the S3 bucket and objects. You may need to create an IAM role with appropriate permissions and attach it to the Jenkins instance.
