For MongoDB >4.0 mongo-sync module doesn’t seem to work. I had a mongodb
instance on AWS EC2 and needed to sync the data to debug the issue and
replicate in dev environment. Below is a command which will sync mongodb from
aws ec2. Below command does the following:


1 . connect to aws instance using keypair pem file
2 . use mongodump to export the data from server
3 . pipe the data to local machine
4 . restore the data in local machine

| tar -zx && 
mongorestore dump && rm -rf dump
