You need to use -o to specify the output if you want to write to s3. samtools view -H s3://mybucket/myfile.bam -o s3://mybucket/header.sam
The '>' is only for local redirection.

Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS doesn't have 1.13 by default, it only comes with Ubuntu 21.10 (Impish Indri). Can you paste in the command line you are using and any output?

Both the files should be in S3 bucket. While samtools is able to successfully read files from S3 path, it gives error while writing sam file to S3 bucket. Is it possible to write directly to S3 using samtools ? If not, do you plan to add this functionality ? Thanks for your help.
