Code Explanation 🧠

• AWS Session: The code creates an AWS session using shared credentials or environment variables.

• S3 Client and Downloader: An S3 client is created, followed by a downloader that leverages the client to download files.

• File Download Loop: The code iterates through a list of specified files, creating a local file for each, and then downloading the corresponding file from S3.
