NAME
    gcloud alpha cloud-shell scp - copies files between Cloud Shell and the
        local machine

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud alpha 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
    (ALPHA) gcloud alpha 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 alpha 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 alpha 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
    This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this
    command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct
    project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early
    access allowlist. These variants are also available:

        $ gcloud cloud-shell scp

        $ gcloud beta cloud-shell scp
