Ignite cp

ignite cp

Copy files/folders between a running vm and the local filesystem

Synopsis

Copy a file between host and a running VM. Creates an SFTP connection to the running VM using the private key created for it during generation, and transfers files between the host and VM. If no private key was created or wanting to use a different identity file, use the identity file flag (-i, --identity) to override the used identity file.

Example usage: $ ignite cp localfile.txt my-vm:remotefile.txt $ ignite cp my-vm:remotefile.txt localfile.txt

ignite cp <source> <dest> [flags]

  -i, --identity string   Override the vm's default identity file
      --timeout uint32    Timeout waiting for connection in seconds (default 30)
