dicer instance cp

dicer instance cp

Copy files between this machine and a running instance

Synopsis

Copy a file or directory between this machine and a running instance. A path in an instance is written NAME:PATH; a relative one is taken from the guest’s root.

What is copied lands as cp -r would put it: into DEST if it is a directory, in its place if it is a file, and at it if nothing is there. Modes, times and symlinks are kept; ownership is not, so what is copied belongs to whoever receives it.

dicer instance cp SRC DEST [flags]

Examples 

  dicer instance cp ./app web:/srv
  dicer instance cp web:/var/log/app.log .

Options 

  -h, --help   help for cp

Options inherited from parent commands 

  -D, --debug              Trace every call to the daemon on stderr (or set $DICER_DEBUG)
  -r, --remote string      Daemon to talk to: a remote's name, or an address (unix:///PATH or HOST:PORT) (default $DICER_REMOTE, then the current remote, then local)
      --timeout duration   Give up on a call to the daemon after this long, e.g. 30s (0: never; streams such as logs -f and exec are not bounded)
