gcloud beta app instances scp

NAME
gcloud beta app instances scp - SCP from or to the VM of an App Engine Flexible environment instance
SYNOPSIS
gcloud beta app instances scp[INSTANCE:]SRC[[INSTANCE:]SRC …][INSTANCE:]DEST[--compress][--recurse][--service=SERVICE][--tunnel-through-iap][--version=VERSION][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
(BETA)gcloud beta app instances scp lets you remotelycopy files to or from an App Engine Flexible environment instance.

gcloud beta app instances scp resolves the instance's IP addressand pre-populates the VM with a public key managed by gcloud. If the gcloudmanaged key pair does not exist, it is generated the first time an SSH commandis 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 andMac OS X. On Windows, the Google Cloud CLI comes with a bundled PuTTY suiteinstead, so it has no external dependencies.

EXAMPLES
To copy one file from a remote instance to the local machine, run:
gcloudbetaappinstancesscp--service=s1--version=v1i1:remote_filelocal_file

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

To use recursive copy, run:
