gcloud beta cloud-shell scp

NAME
gcloud beta cloud-shell scp - copies files between Cloud Shell and the local machine
SYNOPSIS
gcloud beta 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
(BETA) gcloud beta 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 beta 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 beta 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-…]">(cloudshell|localhost):SRC [(cloudshell|localhost):SRC …]
Specifies the files to copy.
cloudshell|localhost):DEST">(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
