NAME gcloud cloud-shell scp - copies files between Cloud Shell and the local machine SYNOPSIS gcloud cloud-shell scp (cloudshell|localhost):SRC [(cloudshell|localhost):SRC ...] (cloudshell|localhost):DEST [--dry-run] [--force-key-file-overwrite] [--recurse] [--scp-flag=SCP_FLAG] [--ssh-key-file] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...] DESCRIPTION gcloud cloud-shell scp copies files between your Cloud Shell instance and your local machine using the scp command. EXAMPLES To denote a file in Cloud Shell, prefix the file name with the string "cloudshell:" (e.g. cloudshell:~/FILE). To denote a local file, prefix the file name with the string "localhost:" (e.g. localhost:~/FILE). For example, to copy a remote directory to your local machine, run: $ gcloud cloud-shell scp cloudshell:~/REMOTE-DIR \ localhost:~/LOCAL-DIR In the above example, ~/REMOTE-DIR from your Cloud Shell instance is copied into the ~/LOCAL-DIR directory. Conversely, files from your local computer can be copied into Cloud Shell: $ gcloud cloud-shell scp localhost:~/LOCAL-FILE-1 \ localhost:~/LOCAL-FILE-2 cloudshell:~/REMOTE-DIR Under the covers, scp(1) or pscp (on Windows) is used to facilitate the transfer. POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS (cloudshell|localhost):SRC [(cloudshell|localhost):SRC ...] Specifies the files to copy. (cloudshell|localhost):DEST Specifies a destination for the source files. FLAGS --dry-run If provided, prints the command that would be run to standard out instead of executing it. --force-key-file-overwrite If enabled gcloud will regenerate and overwrite the files associated with a broken SSH key without asking for confirmation in both interactive and non-interactive environment. If disabled gcloud will not attempt to regenerate the files associated with a broken SSH key and fail in both interactive and non-interactive environment. --recurse Upload directories recursively. --scp-flag=SCP_FLAG Extra flag to be sent to scp. This flag may be repeated. --ssh-key-file The path to the SSH key file. By default, this is ~/.ssh/google_compute_engine. GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity. Run $ gcloud help for details. NOTES These variants are also available: $ gcloud alpha cloud-shell scp $ gcloud beta cloud-shell scp
