kubectl cp

Copy files and directories between a local filesystem and a container in a pod. More information: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/generated/kubectl_cp/.

• Copy a local file or directory to a pod:

kubectl cp {{path/to/local_file}} {{pod_name}}:/{{path/to/file_in_pod}}

• Copy a local file or directory to a pod in a specific namespace:

kubectl cp {{path/to/local_file}} {{namespace}}/{{pod_name}}:/{{path/to/file_in_pod}}

• Copy a file or directory from a pod to the local machine:

kubectl cp {{namespace}}/{{pod_name}}:/{{path/to/file_in_pod}} {{path/to/local_file}}

• Copy a file or directory to a specific container in a pod:

kubectl cp {{path/to/local_file}} {{pod_name}}:/{{path/to/file_in_pod}} {{[-c|--container]}} {{container_name}}

• Copy a file or directory to a pod without preserving ownership and permissions:

kubectl cp {{path/to/local_file}} {{namespace}}/{{pod_name}}:/{{path/to/file_in_pod}} --no-preserve

• Copy a local file or directory to a pod with retries on failure:

kubectl cp {{path/to/local_file}} {{pod_name}}:/{{path/to/file_in_pod}} --retries {{3}}
