I can run \copy in Linux with individual csv file into the table fine and run import using pgadmin into AWS instance.  I am trying to run \copy all csv files import into its own table in Linux and in AWS instance. If all csv files into one table is fine but each csv for each table.  Should I create one batch job for each imported table?  If each batch file import csv to its table would be fine via \copy table_name(col1, col2, ... coln) from '/path/tablename.csv' delimiter ',' csv header;  right?
Also, the problem is I can't pull/execute psql from window client to pull the psql in aws instance and don't know how to create the batch script for this run.  I tried simple \copy pull from c:\tes.csv and psql is unknown.

So the AWS instance and Linux instance are different?

To me the simplest solution would be to push the CSV files to the AWS
instance and work from there. The files will need to be run through a
Postgres command to be imported into a table.

Are you familiar with
COPY(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/sql-copy.html) or
\copy(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/app-psql.html)?
