# scp
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Copy files from your local host to a machine, from machine to machine, or from a
|
||
|
|
machine to your local host using `scp`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The notation is `machinename:/path/to/files` for the arguments; in the host
|
||
|
|
machine's case, you don't have to specify the name, just the path.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Consider the following example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ cat foo.txt
|
||
|
|
cat: foo.txt: No such file or directory
|
||
|
|
$ docker-machine ssh dev pwd
|
||
|
|
/home/docker
|
||
|
|
$ docker-machine ssh dev 'echo A file created remotely! >foo.txt'
|
||
|
|
$ docker-machine scp dev:/home/docker/foo.txt .
|
||
|
|
foo.txt 100% 28 0.0KB/s 00:00
|
||
|
|
$ cat foo.txt
|
||
|
|
A file created remotely!
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Just like how `scp` has a `-r` flag for copying files recursively,
|
||
|
|
`docker-machine` has a `-r` flag for this feature.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the case of transferring files from machine to machine, they go through the
|
||
|
|
local host's filesystem first (using `scp`'s `-3` flag).
