NAME
    gcloud app instances scp - SCP from or to the VM of an App Engine Flexible
        instance

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud app instances scp [INSTANCE:]SRC [[INSTANCE:]SRC ...]
        [INSTANCE:]DEST [--compress] [--recurse] [--service=SERVICE]
        [--tunnel-through-iap] [--version=VERSION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    gcloud app instances scp lets you remotely copy files to or from an App
    Engine Flexible instance.

    gcloud app instances scp resolves the instance's IP address and
    pre-populates the VM with a public key managed by gcloud. If the gcloud
    managed key pair does not exist, it is generated the first time an SSH
    command is run, which may prompt you for a passphrase for the private key
    encryption.

    All SSH commands require the OpenSSH client suite to be installed on Linux
    and Mac OS X. On Windows, the Google Cloud CLI comes with a bundled PuTTY
    suite instead, so it has no external dependencies.

EXAMPLES
    To copy one file from a remote instance to the local machine, run:

        $ gcloud app instances scp --service=s1 --version=v1 \
          i1:remote_file local_file

    To copy several local files to a remote instance, run:

        $ gcloud app instances scp --service=s1 --version=v1 local_1 \
          local_1 i1:remote_dir

    To use recursive copy, run:

        $ gcloud app instances scp --service=s1 --version=v1 \
          --recurse local_dir i1:remote_dir
