clawker cp

Copy files/folders between a container and the local filesystem

​
Synopsis

Copy files/folders between a container and the local filesystem. Use ’-’ as the destination to write a tar archive of the container source to stdout. Use ’-’ as the source to read a tar archive from stdin and extract it to a directory destination in a container. When —agent is provided, container names in CONTAINER:PATH are resolved as agent names (clawker.<project>.<agent>). Container path format: CONTAINER:PATH Local path format: PATH 
clawker cp [OPTIONS] CONTAINER:SRC_PATH DEST_PATH|-
cp [OPTIONS] SRC_PATH|- CONTAINER:DEST_PATH [flags]
